some times i cant throw my car in first if im rolling coming down in speed, i heard its normal is it true?

 

yes it's normal. why would u need to downshift to first anyways... for going over speed bumps or what not if u cant get it in gear the first time slow down a little bit then try again. works for me. also no synchros on first.

 

any other comments?

 

Normal, you shouldn't get into 2nd either if you're going over 30mph, or faster, not sure. Enjoy this safety feature of not blowing your engine shifting to a too low of a gear.

 

Its annoying, I know. When I come off the off-ramps at 90+ I want to shift into 1st as I roll to the stoplight, but no dice. Yup, a safety feature. Think of it as a condom. Not much fun, but its for the greater good.

 

Are you in the habit of sleeping with *****? ha ha j/k!!!!!!!



For the OP.


I don't have a problem getting my car into 1st gear while going 10-15 mph. I can also get into 2nd while even going 35-40mph.

 

double clutch it and rev match will put you into 1st. make sure you're only goin 15- 24 mph. At 20mph your second gear is at 2000 rpm, so its really slow when you want to start accel quickly. rev up to 2600-3000rpm then put into 1st, it should work.

 

Not true; I regularly go into 2nd gear at speeds up to 40ish MPH when wanting to really GO! and she really GOES!!! There is some speed matching that must be done, but I will not get into all of that now. This (when done correctly) hurts nothing, been doing it since 1978.

 

When Im Going 5 Miles An Hour Some Times I Feel Its Hard, To Get It In First, Even If Im Just Rolling, It Is Sometimes Hard To Throw It In To First. Anyone Else Experience This? I Heard Its Noraml? Feels Like Something Is Stopping Me. Safety Feature Or Something Maybe.

 

the only time u would go into 1st gear is when racing someone from roll (10mph). There is no need to use first gear other wise. Even if u are almost stopped just put it into 2nd and accelarate, the car has enough power to not stress the engine.

 

is there something from stopping me getting into first gear?
