Well I didn't grind the gear when i was learning. For me it happened when i was trying to shift very quickly from first to second and i let off the clutch a little too soon. This happened like last year.

I genuinely felt stupid when i stalled going into second.

In my defense it happened when going up a hill in a parking lot.
