whoever wants to go into 1st gear? :dunno:
i tried it couple times just for the hell of it, and it goes into 1st just fine....although i dont see what the point of going into first is but oh well h:

 

My cars have all had synchros in 1st. It's reverse that usually doesn't. The synchro is what blocks you out of 1st gear if your clutch is dragging. Try shifting into 1st when you're almost stopped. Like in the last foot before you completely stop.

Try shifting into reverse when you're moving (slowly). That's what its like to not have a synchro.
