1st Gear Synchronized?

[rfields84]

Hey I just bought a 1984 Honda Prelude with a Dual Carb 1.8 4 Cyl. I was wondering is 1st gear suspost to be synchronized? I can't shift into 1st when i'm moving, I know your really not suspost to downshift to 1st, but I am use to shifting into 1st right before I stop at a stop sign. I didn't know if it was suspost to be like that or mabey im doing something wrong? This is my first Honda.

THANKS,

you can shift into 1st if you give it a little gas to get the gears spinning, its not a good idea to do though it can wear our BRASS (bad idea honda) synromesh transmition, just use 2nd
