I usually shift with my hand on the side of the knob, as opposed to in front of/on top of the knob. I have only mis-shifted once in this car, and that was a 1st -> 2nd. Damn shifter popped right out of 2nd because I didn't shift it fully. After a slight grind the drivetrain went "BOOOOM!" ... I almost sh~t myself on the spot. 
Oh and let's not forget the time Chris yanked the shift knob completely off whilst trying to do a 2nd-gear burn in Florida.
3rd -> 4th is actually one of the smoothest speed shifts I can do in this car. The gate setup + the lack of exagerated torque (like 1st and 2nd give the perception of) make it easier than any other combo IMO.
