What's all the fuss about changing down into first gear?
My first cars were post WW2 and one pre WW2 with mainly 3 speeds and no syncro on 1st. I drove a post office van with a crash[no synrco] box for a week once and was told I would have enough time to roll a smoke changing up. It was an exact art with every shift or it didn't happen.
When????? I get my GTS 86 with triple syncros on 1st gear if it doesn't shift into that gear on the move it will be straight in for a warranty claim.
When I drive slowly around the car park in my current 5 speed manual single cab, it shifts into 1st from 2nd without any complaint and I think it only has double syncros!
