>>17711274
99.999% of cars won't let you into first unless you're barely moving.

0/10 bait, here's your (You).

They call it the money shift for a reason

Is it common for shitty cars not to have something to prevent this? If my car is rolling past 5 it makes a horrible grind and wont let me shift to first.

>>17711313

Not true. With enough force, you can easily downshifted into 1st.

>>17711308
Have you even seen shifters on low end shitty cars were the gear lever just wants to go all the way in the direction you push it in. My friend also did this to his car in highschool don't kno.w still if it was because he wanted a new car or not he was a fag btw not literally though.

Explain.

My uncle did that in his corvette once during a street race. He said the shifter and basically everything else tried pushing up out of the gearbox, along with the car making a horrible noise. I think he sold it a week later.

I'd wager the same logic applies to autofags with ABS, TCS, PS, reverse sensors, transmission lockouts etc etc.

Basically, you're grasping at straws but here's a (you).

>>17711316
I have a miata and miata synchros are really fucking good, they can allow you to shift into first from fifth in a split second without grinding. It takes a bit of force to do so, especially on an earlier model like mine (90-93) because the 1/2 synchro takes more effort to use, but sometimes it'll slip right in

>>17711401
Not at anything above 30km/h though, you'll have to rev it to like 6k.

>>17711400
People who drive automatics aren't concerned with standing out and being a special snowflake. They simply use their cars as efficiently as they could possibly be. Anybody with a job beyond McDonalds doesn't have time to play boi racer.

>>17711402
>Not at anything above 30km/h though
I've managed to do it going 50 mph, I pressed the clutch back in just in time though

>>17711407
People who drive to McD's and work don't care about how a car works, the limits of the car nor the functionality.

Self driving cars can't come soon enough to take those braindead morons off the road that seem inexplicably blinded by a windscreen and bewildered by side mirrors.

If you can afford a new auto, good for you. I'll be happy to stick with my stick because it's relatively inexpensive and reliable, and makes driving my shitbox much more interesting.

>automatics were bad 30+ years ago
Irrelevant. If you are driving on public roads, you don't need anything more than a 4-speed automatic. You like manual because it lets you feel superior, not because it's a better design.

My peugeot 106 wouldnt allow that.
There is somethig blocking the way. There is no grinding noise. Its like theres some wall blocking it from entering first gear, no matter how hard you push.
That applies to second gear tol if im way too fast. Impossible to hammer it into first or second while going too fast.
The wall releases at 5 km/h or so, thats where i can enter first gear again.

>>17711424
I've done it in a shit old Fiesta. I didn't properly money shift, I just nearly put it into first when I intended to go from second to third at about 25mph. It didn't go fully into gear, the revs shot up to about 5k before I put the clutch back in. Another milisecond and it would have gone well past the redline. The transmission wasn't actually damaged as far as I could tell, I saved it just before it shat itself I think.

You're the one who assumed driving manual means I do drifts in the streets. That, and the fact you feel the need to shame manuals just shows your bias and how much you must be coping, knowing you are not even a quarter as cool as anyone who knows how to use the car dick.

As it's already been alluded to in the thread the only people who obsess over stick are boiracers who work at McDonald's and have never had to make a critical vehicle purchasing decision in their life (and never will if they draw any kind of pride at all from the trivial task of engaging and disengaging a clutch periodically). Fucking mileagelets have probably never driven cross-country in one sitting before.

b-b-but that's not possible

They're not in line with each other, or even near each other.

And you'd be going up or down to downshift into 3rd, or over to the right to upshift to 5th. Why would you go to the left?

Also, your transmission would sound like rocks in a blender trying to force it into 1st at any decent speed. You'd really have to push it hard, going against any physical and audible feedback.

It just doesn't work like that.

How can i shift at reasonable speed from 2nd to first like in sport cars? Ive been driving with automatic in racing vidya and they freely downshift from 2nd to 1st at like 50kmh. My daily car wont let unless im really slowed down to 20kmh. Do i have to harden or somehow else tune the gearbox?

>>17714839
Racing gearbox =/= daily gearbox

What you're feeling are the synchro gears that sync the new ratio to the shafts on consumer boxes. Racing boxes have no synchros and the gears are cut in a different way.

>>17714839
just accept that you can't do that. don't drop down to 1st unless you've stopped.

i had same problem, got used to shifting to 1st in racing sims while in movement and then i needed some time to get rid of this involuntary shifting

>>17714867
>>17714900
How do I get so called racing gearbox? Is it just swappable from the same model but more powerful engine, or any gearbox can be somehow tuned? Why daily shitboxes are made to block downshifting from 2nd to 1st at higher speeds?

>>17714936
WTF? How can someone be this newfag? Good thing summer is almost over.

Gear ratios on racecars are closer than on daily cars, the lows are longer and the highs are shorter. 1st on a racecar is somewhere between 2nd and 3rd.

As for racing boxes, if it would even be a good idea to drive around with one : depends on the platform of your car. Investigate.

Wrong. OP is describing a money shift although as many others have pointed out it should be practically impossible in a 1 year old car. Maybe literally impossible.

I've managed to shift from 4th to 3rd instead of 5th a few times, nothing bad really happened, revs didn't even come close to redline.

Been there, done that. I was only going 50km so it was mostly ok
