Nothing a little rev-matching or heel-toe downshifting can't do.

When my Outback ran, give it a good rev and the shifter would eventually pop into first. I've even done a reckless 35MPH downshift (borderline of the rev-limit).

Maybe it was because it was such an old tranny. 1999 model year, lots of shenanigans done on that car.

You must have a tall 1st gear to downshift to 1st at 30mph.

I can healtoe and get into first at like 15 but any faster than that and perhaps I am just not comfortable rev matching that high.

People that do not stop at stop signs should be dragged out into the street and shot.

When, you hate when people drive next up you. But when it's a Subaru, it's all good.
