I only had this problem on the 1st day, seem to be shifting smoother now. 1st to 2nd is a bit rough too, but 3rd and up are much smoother. I'm no car mag aficionado, my last 5 speed was a '87 Dodge daytona turbo when I was in college. That was a fun car too, but not even in the same ball park as the Crossfire.

I find myself starting in 2nd gear a lot when i'm just tooling around town...
