This is my first manual car so this may be a noobish question but...
It it normal to not be able to downshift into 1st gear untill your going under about 10mph. I have tried double clutching and it makes no difference, which makes me think that it is some sorta saftey thing that is built in, and it is really anoying me. So is this normal for any manual transmission, is it specific to Subaru's, or is something wrong with my transmission.
