my car: sunfire 04
i find that quite often i am unable to shift into 2nd gear while down shifting on the first try, i have to back up on the stick a bit and then it easily slides into 2nd
(this is while maintaining the same speed from the first try to the 2nd)
it usually happens when i'm slowing down for a turn
p.s. new to manual transmission
i havew a 96 z24 and that was happening to me all the time and eventualy started to grind the gear. it was a bad sycro!!!
I know it's a little late of a response, but my Getrag gives my dad issues all the time. From what I've heard, it's just the nature of the beast.
At this point I've gotten used to it and know all the little things I gotta do to get it into gear, but sometimes reverse still gives me an issue.

just blip the gas and rev match it.if the rpm's are at the right point it will slide right in. you really don't even need the clutch to tell you the truth. it take a few trys to get used to but once you get it it will be like second nature.
