Re: Grinds in 1st, but only after leaving it in neutral for a bit

That works for DOWNSHIFTING. I have driven many, many non-synchro transmissions. I rarely use a clutch when shifting and am fully aware of how to match engine and transmissions speed. When a trans output shaft is spinning at 0 rpm and you "blip" the throttle from 800 to 2000 rpm, how does that match their speed? When downshifting the method you describe works. The poster is talking about starting from a dead stop in neutral. The grinding is caused by the transmission cluster spinning while a gear is being engaged. The clutch disconnects the trans from the engine so the cluster stops and a gear can be selected while stopped.
