So I've figured out how to get 4th and 5th.... 4th is a slow shift - 5th is a super fast extra firm shift (the difference in rpms is 500). Can't quite figure out third - and I won't try second until I get third

I'm not looking to just stop using my clutch - I figure it's a good skill to know in the event a hydraulic component decides to crap out on me

One thing I noticed.... If I slightly miss - then hit the clutch and continue with the shift - the dogs don't mesh. They continue to interfere and I can't get into gear until I pull back near neutral and retry.
