6MT 1st gear throw not engaging

[Forest Moon]

Every manual I've owned has behaved like this, including 3 Tacomas. It's never been frequent, maybe once every couple months or so. I've always just assumed it was an operator error like not having my foot down all the way.

Very interesting. Mine is pretty new, less than 2 weeks old. I'll keep this thread in mind.

I have had this same experience of the first gear syncros not being great until you're completely stopped.

Also not to hi-jack but is anyone else trying to start in 2nd gear more? It is nicer because of the terrible ratio jump but don't know if I'll eat up the clutch....
