It might take a bit of fiddling around before you get it perfect. It took me two, maybe three attempts before I was completely satisfied.

Getting into 5th can be kind of a beast because of the centering spring, even after the 'break in'. I just kinda changed the way I shift. I pull my elbow close to my body so when i push diagonally from 4th to 5th I have good leverage/power. I only miss if if I'm being lazy and shift all limp wrsited lol
