Ssup guys.. I have 2005 G35C w/ 7200miles on it... the thing is that when my car is rolling like 2 ~ 10mph and try to put gear into 1st, its just so hard to go into 1st gear??? any idea why its doing it? is it synchro problem or am I doing or knowing something wrong?? please help~~~

 

Mine is the exact same.

Nothing wrong.....that is just the way it is.

You don't need 1st gear if you are rolling at all, only from a dead stop.

You can get it to go into 1st by rev matching if you get the hang of it.

 

This has only happened a few times to me once it's cold out.

 

well.. same to me.... it doesn't happen all the time.. .but most of time it happens... ?? and the thing is that when you are rolling like 2 ~ 10mph and u need to move quickly, then don't you need to go into 1st, cuz if you go into 2nd and try to bust out, it won't give you much power to push out.....
???

 

WHS^

I don't know why you would want to downshift at that low speed rather than acclerate in 2nd or wait until you are stopped to shift.

 

This has been covered many, many, *many* times. It's normal. Don't worry.

 

+1.. i remember a fairly large thread no too long ago on this very subject matter. try running a search.

 

Having drivlen M/T's off and on for 40 years let me assure you you have no problems ........ trying to match synchros into lowest gear is ike hitting a target moving too fast.
Call it naure ofl the beast.

 

So is there no first gear lockout, or is this related to it?

 

No lockout- it's normal.

 

Don't do that, 1st. gear is way too low unless you rev match and that comes with experience but I can say I never go to first unless i'm completely stopped or very close to being stopped in all my cars & trucks and in the G I just use 2nd for those situations, there is plenty enough torque so just stay in 2nd... Been doing this since 1978.

 

so I guess everybody agreed that this is normal.. well..... if its really normal behavior that G does... then I guess I have to live with it...
BTW, thanks for the kind infos...

 

Try revving it slightly next time to help the engagement.

most cars don't have synchros for 1st gear downshifting!

If you need to downshift into 1st, double clutch it!

 

It's normal, and worse when its cold out and the fluids aren't warmed up yet. Just blip the throttle as you're downshifting and it'll slide right in.
