I've downshifted into first while rolling since I bought the car and I've put over 100k on it personally. First shifts fine. I've even dropped it into first on tight corners and hairpins on the racetrack, no grinds. Shifting into first while the car is moving isn't the issue, usually it's ramming the gears and beating the synchros, or shifting from a rolling reverse into first (intentionally broke a tranny doing that)
Erik P. Official 2GNT thread Hijacker Some say that he's driven over more Covenant than he's shot, and that his grenades aren't where you'd expect them to be... All we know is, He's not The Stig... But he is The Stig's Spartan cousin!
