Sopher's Non-synchro first

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

Matt,

        I'm pretty sure that first gear is non-synchro.  If you shift to second,
then double clutch to first, it should go.  I learned to drive in Dad's '63 
Corvette 3spd. and he made sure I got that part down right!  Good luck, and try 
it at like 25 mph, not 75mph. *grin*

yeah, mine also has a " bass note" when driving. Isn't that a particular tranny?
I
cannot downshift into first! And, the engine's rpms must be below, lets say, 800
before I can shift into first.
my rearview mirror has never vibrated. My cheesy radio has no engine noise.
