[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 16991679, member: 141815"] Let me explain one thing in a little bit more detail. Yes If you engage first gear while using the clutch and rev the engine up just as if you are driving it then you should be able to engage the next gear fairly easily if you let off of the accelerator to allow engine RPM to drop as you engage the next gear. This is called float shifting in the trucking industry. Without the load of moving the car I think this could be done quite easily because as engine RPM drops it takes less effort for the synchronizer to speed up the next gear as you upshift through the transmission. I don't think downshifting will be easy to do this without grinding/forcing the synchronizer to match gear speed with the transmission mainshaft speed. Now if you aren't raising engine RPM and then letting off of the accelerator to come close to matching engine RPM to mainshaft speed of the next gear and you're rowing through the gears while at idle.........you probably have a transmission problem.
