I noticed on mine sometimes if I have to much pressure on the shifter I need to take my foot off and it will go in smooth. I was previously keeping my foot during shifts under the shifter I believe that the shifter needs to go back into position first before you can upshift. I could be wrong though. 

No, you're right. You need to completely release the shift lever back to it's resting position before shifting again. The shifting mechanism is a ratcheting design that needs to reset between each shift. If it were like a shifter in a car where each gear position was a new position of the shifter we'd end up with a shift lever that got higher and higher with each shift ( or lower, if downshifting).
