You may want to try a GL-4 trans fluid like Amsoil gear and trans lube....

It works better at getting those crappy brass syncros to slow down for the next gear as you shift. Means the 1-2 grind should happen much less. This has been covered in the transmission section of the forums. I am putting this in my car tomorrow. Guys have used this and LOVE IT!

The nice thing about using this oil vs Royal Purple is this looks like oil thats in your trans already. So if you ever take it in for warranty work.. the dealer will be less likely to void your warranty because you are using royal purple.. aka a non OEM Oil.
