Luckily my G50 shifts the same as when I got it over 20 years ago (I'm basically the original owner, it was pretty low miles when I got it). Never crunchy, but it has the same cold-start notchiness in first and second gears as it had when 'new'.

I will say that I have always shifted extremely gentle, using a very light touch on the shifter and matching revs on downshifts as best as possible.

On a related note, I rarely use first gear once it's warm, I just startup in second gear. Avoids the upshift, and it pulls great off the line in second gear with almost no slipping of the clutch.
