Is may seem like a simple question but…

When down shifting should I be able to shift into 1st gear with out coming to a full stop. Currently I can not down shift into 1st while I am rolling. My buddy insists that this is normal and the way the transmission should behave. He is referencing 1970’s Volkswagens.

Could some one please provide the correct information? I’m starting to debug my first 914 and don’t really want to chase my tail.

Thanks!

mine shifts into first just fine while the car is still rolling. in fact, most of the time, getting into first is easier with the car still rolling ...
