    I don't have this issue (more getting into first at a stop on occasion), but I think others have mentioned it before.

    Yes, I experience trouble shifting into 2nd at higher RPMs. I've believed it was just me being a bit rusty at shifting a manual again, but would be interested to learn if there is a reason beyond pilot-error at play here ;-)

    Do you still have the clutch delay valve in there? That could cause that...

    It'll happen to me if I'm shifting really quickly. Not sure if it's from the slop in my shifter, but I'm probably going to follow Peter's "bulletproof" shifter refurb to see what difference it makes.

    I thought it just took some time for the revs to drop enough.

    Definitely an idea that popped into my head, but dang is it a long wait time relative to banging through gears if you're trying to get that 0-60 down

    The clutch delay valve (CDV) connects the hard line to the soft line of the clutch line. I believe it's designed to help reduce clutch wear by slowing the movement of the clutch hydraulic fluid (brake fluid in our cars) and thus the engagement of the clutch. It makes the clutch grab point mushy. Removing it is pretty easy and makes clutch pedal feel much better.

    Below is one DIY. He uses a replacement CDV that is modified with a larger bore. You don't have to do that, you can simply remove the factory CDV and directly connect the soft line to the hard line.

    I'm working on the garage right so I don't have time to check but if you search for CDV you should be able to find it. There should be something in the DIY section I would imagine
