1st gear gets stuck???

[aaronng]

wouldnt it be that the first gear is double sycro?

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

that happens to my dc2 aswel occasionaly,

just take your foot off the accelerator and clutch, put it in neutral
then push the clutch in say twice, so the gears can reset and everthing can align properly,
then try puting it in 1st again

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

[aaronng]

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 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.

the safety only prevents u shifting from 5th to reverse accidentally.

There's no such thing for first gear.

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?

you have a clutch problem. but first try and use a thinner oil like mobil1 5-50 as long as you don't have lsd then it's ok,but if you do have lsd then you should us red line(top of the shelf gear oil)

[Bludger]

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
