First is the trickiest to rev match for me. It depends alot on how warmed up the engine is. You probably don't need to for stopping at a light. My trick for learning was findin a street I could cruise slowly on. After the car is fully warmed up. Drive in first at 10mph and note what rpm you are at. then shift to neutral and coast a bit let the rpms go to idle. Then blip the throttle to just above the rpms you noted earlier and shift NORMALLY and smoothly into first. If its locking you out don't force it. Try another blip and shift. A proper rev match shift to first should feel buttery smooth when the engine is warm. Its the hardest gear by far to get the feel for.


I sort of had a cheat sheet at first 15 to 20 mph needs like 4.5k rpms and a warm engine to snick in smoothly.
