Re: (da_truf)
lots of times the synchros on first and second get turned to trash by people slamming gears and also those who try to shift into first while moving a lot. and then there are those who like to shift without using the clutch . . . VERY FEW people on earth can get away with this, so don't do it! the shift collar also gets pretty abused, although the 1-2 holds up fairly well due to larger size than 3-4 or 5-R.
it could also be worn clutch/pressure plate/flywheel. sounds to me like this is the ticket. lots of times a worn clutch disc or PP or flywheel will cause hard shifting such as you describe. thankfully, clutches are cheap, if not easy to replace. get the flywheel resurfaced while you're in there.

i'm guessing you've never taken apart a transmission, either. yes, first gear has a synchronizer ring, just like every other gear including reverse.
