Driving a 5 speed has become such habit that I don't realize what i am doing anymore. Therefore, i made an effort to notice it today and I realized that on my MX-3, which I just dropped off at the dealer ship as I picked up my P5! I was pushing half way to gear up and all the way to gear down. I found that going up the gears it slipped in quite easily when the clutch was in half way. BUT strange enough shifting down it did not so I had to put the clutch all the way down. Like I said, it's a habit so this is the first time I actually paid any attention to it. It could be because it was an MX-3 not sure, now I have my P5 so I will re-investigate this and let you all know of my findings.
