RE: threw it in first instead of 3rd
okay thanks everyone. i downshift a lot to help me slow down, but i never get close to redlineing it.
WWMOST-- i dont shift into 1st unless i completley stop, i alwasy put it in second and pull out.

1st and reverse dont have synchros. Have you ever not been able to get into reverse and you have to first pit it in another gear first and then go back to reverse for it to line up? Or same thing with first? Thats because there are no synchros

First gear is synchronized, reverse is not. The only reason it's difficult to shift back into first is because of how steep that gear is. Mine shifts easily into 1st up to about 20mph...not that I generally need to.

You might want to consider an aftermarket spring loaded shifter. It moves the shifter to the right automatically when you shift from second to third so you dont have that problem of going into first like you did.
