I guess what I'm really looking for is a notch/click/lock between 2-1 as there is between 3-2 to prevent going from 3 right into 1 during manual shifting. ESS SAW does this by using an electronic signal, touch the down button/paddle for a shift to the next lower gear. Though you may accidently hit the button/paddle twice in quick succession this is less likely than pulling the shift lever back to far when there is no good delineation between 2nd and 1st.
