oh question two. hit stop and go traffic on the 5 in cali. used mostly 1st and 2nd gear. i noticed that if your going 8+mph in 2nd gear its hard to move the gear to 1st.
pretty much what happens is while in second gear i push in the clutch. try to move the stick to 1st gear and halfway there it gets stuck and i hear like a grinding/rubbing sound. only way i need to apply a bit of force to get it in there.
shouldnt the transition be smooth since my clutch is push all the way in?

I feel bad for the 2nd owner of your car in the future....
but all jokes aside - I've driven on the 605 and 405 constantly for work and I agree 8mph is too low for 2nd gear...just keep it in first gear esp. since these cars have no torque.
if you must go from 2nd to 1st, listen to all the advice listed...
