Funny thing, after driving this T-96 non-synchro-first car for almost 
two years, I don't even notice it.

To get into first at very low speeds, with the trans in N and clutch 
out, you "bump" 2nd just enough to push the synchros together, then 
clutch and pull to first. Goes right in no grindy-grindy. Same with reverse.

Daily I go over a small, one-lane, very steep hill, and have to 
downshift to first. In second, I pull up the hill, starts to lug. Clutch 
to N, bump 2, pull to one, in a fraction of a second it's in 1st no crunch.

I don't need no stinkin' synchro first!
