Bad synchros, or are they only on higher gears?

Mine doesn't like going into first when I am moving either, not sure any really do for that matter...

Sounds like a cracked or minced up 1st gear synchro ring.

Replace or rebuild gearbox.

my old stock box hated it... i could do it though if i matched the revvs... try it out - blip the accelerator to the RPM you think youll hit on the downchange and itll go in smooth =)

since putting in my 5.14 gears though its all fine - but i still do it out of habit downchanging each gear...

How much does something like this cost? My gearbox crunches going from 3rd to 4th unless i double clutch.
