Sometime I find my 3rd gear hard to get in...is it normal? I remember having this issue with my MSP with 2nd gear...
Maybe because I'm not used having a normal shifter? (The MSP was my first m/t car and had a short shifter from factory) Edit: Forgot to specify I have a 6 point ceramic clutch is this information could be useful This post has been edited by TheChildOfTheSea: May 3, 2011 - 1:36 AM |

The reason why you can't shift in first while still moving is because of the 1st gear guard, it's to prevent you downshift back in first instead of third. My transmission does this too...in traffic I always have to stop completely, and it forces me to do my stops at full time.
