Well, I too experienced the original posters' description. I have been driving manuals since the age of 8, im 20 now, however not as a daily driver. A couple of things I have picked up on from my brother, that made shifting 2nd nature are: when traveling around the city, and really even on the high way, when I shift from 2-3-4 w/e, I shift just like I were releasing the cluth and giving it gas like in first gear, first taking off. Just not as much, this simple manuever has helped.
