I've tried double clutching and trying to manually synchronize the transmission, but regardless of how I manipulate the clutch/engine speed, it still grinds. The only thing that works is if I take it out of gear, pause for a second or two, then ease the shifter into 2nd. It's still really notchy when I do this, but doesn't make me cringe near as much! Now after about 15-20 minutes of driving, I shift like normal. But if I'm in stop-and-go traffic, I'll still get surprised by a grind or two...
