U can buy a skip shift eliminator or just go over that speed and go to second. I still have mine skip shift engage and I have no issues with it

This is the one I have and it works fine, no reason to pay more than ~$15 shipped.

If you run 1st gear out longer to like 3,000RPM the skip shift won't kick in. I've just taught myself to run 1st gear out and the skip shift doesn't engage. I actually purchased a skip shift eliminator but never even put it in.

Skip shift eliminator is worth every penny. 2 minutes to install it in your driveway.
