Guidance on my shift quality?

It's smooth like a bolt gun.

thanks guys!

Ekam, so if the problem for me isn't technique than I should look towards something mechanical? I've read of others changing mounts and fluids. I'm going to continue babying it until my friend has a look, then I will have mechanic do a thorough look during pending oil change.
