First gear is not synchronized. It's like a crash box. Takes practice.... lots of it.

I have on occasion had to drive without a working clutch cylinder. Weeee..... THAT'S fun.... Try real hard to not come to a complete stop in first, and then shift without a clutch. I think I learned a lot from that.

Sooo.... why do you want to shift into first while rolling, anyway? I may have to do it once in 3 months, and only because I'm too lazy to "almost" stop.

I have had water damage to my engine, and tranny, got all the water out, and my tranny and engine still run hard. And I have 73k miles. And I used to deliver pizza in it.

SO I am still understanding how alot of peoples trannies and engines go soo quickly in our civic?
