You emailed me stating "dont treat me like you think im a dumbass"
I have e-mailed you with this reply.
What are you talking about? If you check any of my over 300 posts, you'll see that I have never made a smartass reply. I don't think you're a dumbass. My answer was a serious answer. If you start off in the morning and try to put the manual trans in reverse without first going to a forward gear it will be harder to get into gear. I suggested 4th gear first and then reverse. I don't understand your reply.

RE: Shifting problems
Every manual I've owned has had the occasional "sticking" before going into reverse and first gear when cold. I put her into neutral (maybe jiggle it back and forth a couple times), release the clutch, then re-engage the clutch and it usually drops right with on next attempt.
