How to make shifting more smooth?
In order to shift smoothly in any gear, you have to slowly release the clutch. Has noting to do with fluids, synchros or whatever. Just the way the tranny is.
One of the reason is the high engagement point. Most people are use to just releasing the clutch at the end.
Whereas, in other cars, the engagement point is in the middle, so it's ok to let go of the clutch at the end.
In the G, you have to release is slowly and not left off.

That just doesn't sound right Tragedycat, you should be able to shift into almost any gear at most RPMs with a flick of the stick except first. I'm not sure from what you describe that using synthetic trans fluid would help. Sound like your syncros are shot and your clutch isn't doing it's job. Are you still under warranty, if so get help!

Gary I wasn't referring to the notchiness of the shifter; I have no problems getting into any gear at any time. I just meant the car jerks if the shifts aren't made rather slowly and the clutch feathered. My G has 25k miles on it and has been meticulously maintained, never redlined or raced or abused, so I'm pretty sure it's not my hardware.

I was talking about the notchyness in the movement of the shifter. Not the notchyness of the actual shifting of the car, I find it not that hard to be able to shift the car smoothly and I'm used to a low engagement point.
I just picked up an 07 with 35k and have noticed the "jerkiness" but I realize that it is because of the
just thought i would chime in
I was thinking about taking out the buffer spring, and adjusting the engagement point... seen the walk through for each on here.
- lightness of the clutch pedal (came from a wrx, almost put my foot through the firewall on the test drive)
- the awkward engagement point of the clutch
- the slow rev down of the motor / flywheel
