Wow. That sounds bad. Uhh.. My first gear pops in with no problem, no sound. Might want to get that looked at.

I was told you shouldn't downshift into first for any reason.

...well, that or you could learn to double-clutch and rev-match... a pain in the ***, but problem solved.

Hey dude...... I have the same problem.... It isnt the syncro..... im not sure it is, might be something with the clutch or something.. im not sure... But while in an autocross I didnt have the problem... maybe I didnt just feel/ hear the grind....... but your not really supposed to downshift into first anway... They figure if you going any faster than stoped than you can take off from second I guess.

Same thing here...annoying as hell. Anything over 5 mph or so it feels locked out.
