I have my clutch to the floor the whole time im not taking the clutch out at all. Is this a safety feature or is theresomething wrong? thanks everyone
If you're coming to a complete stop, why are you going into first so soon? When coming to a complete stop I would clutch in then apply brakes.

Or in your case-- Clutch in, Down to third, clutch out, brakes, clutch in, down to 2nd, clutch out, brakes, clutch in and then fully come to a stoop.

Can you shift into 2nd instead of 1st?
