The old CRX I use to drive... It would'nt go into first unless you were at a complete stop.
most transmissions wont. and honda'as are like that. they do not have a syncro on first gear, and a small shift gate. when you downshift into first while moving, and let out the clutch, even slowly, it puts a big shock on everything inside of it, and shock isnt good.
but when your stopped and it is hard to push into gear, it is because the gears aren't lined up correctly. you are trying to push a tooth into a tooth, instead of a tooth into a valley. so dun' worry 'bout it.
