School just started on Wednesday and I had a little problem. My MZ3 is the first stick car I've used for a daily driver, which I've had for about a month so I'm still perfecting my technique. Here's the problem. The school parking garage has a steep spiral ramp that I need to go up 4 floors. Normally, I downshift to second gear and cruise up the ramp at a slightly spirited speed. On Thursday though, there was a person in front of me who obviously didn't know the garage so they were going pretty slow and looking at the sign on each floor to see if they could park there. Being in second on such a steep climb at low speed, my car started to bog drastically; just on the verge of starting to stutter.
So here's my question: Does 1st gear have a syncro? I ask because I remember my friend's WRX, which I drove to learn on, didn't have a syncro so I couldn't go into 1st unless at a complete stop. Would it be ok to rev match into first? I'm assuming I'd have to rev it up pretty high to match the 15-20mph speed I enter the garage at. Should I double clutch (which I have yet to practice)? Can someone walk me through the exact steps on how to get to first? Thanks in advance
