Having double synchros should make it easier to get into 1st than compared to a gearbox with only a single synchro on 1st gear.Quote:

just change your gearbox oil it'll more than likely fix your problem as I had a similar problem a little while back. I never downshift into first though.
i kinda have simuler problem with my itr...
but sometimes cant select reverse...
gets ***n anoying!!
changed the box oil and is alot better..
so my advice.. change g/b oil :)
If you are moving at 20km/h and want to get into 1st gear, put it into neutral, take your foot off the clutch, blip to 2000rpm and then clutch in and shift into 1st. Then blip again to rev match before releasing the clutch.
or.... stop the natural way and use the brakes :p first gear is for take off, don't see why you need to downshift into first.
i believe this is a comon thing with integra's...a gear box oil change will only be a temporary fix so my advice is to only change it wen your servicing the car...
ive heard its more of a safety lock type thing where you cant put it into gear one whilst moving (at even slow speeds).but i duno how true that was.
best thing ive found is whats already been recommended...just go to neutral and then gear one...
for reverse gear...chuck it in gear 4 and then reverse...seems to work for me. :D
the safety only prevents u shifting from 5th to reverse accidentally.Quote:

as I said, you can get into first gear while going 40kays/h if you double declutch.
kewl... is it a problem if.. you can shift from 3rd to 4th WITHOUT clutching.. ?
i've done it a few times.. but have stopped cuz dunno if its bad :P
-or maybe it was just right timing and revs, that allow for slipping 3rd to 4th?

i beleive that you should never start in 1st unless you are at a complete stop.
no matter how slow you are moving or how steep the hill, 2nd gear will be the way to go IMO
