get rolling in 1st about 10mph and pull it out of gear and try to push into 2nd if it grinds then you gotta slow the rpms down or speed them up. you will be at the right speed if it just wants to fall right in gear without grinding. it takes some practice and every car is different. i used to drive my integra that way. i drive all sticks that way. semi trucks or other diesels are great for practicing that. have fun.
