Anytime you're down shifting, or going from neutral to 1st. gear, always put it into 2nd. then into first. This seems to make your "synchros" work better.

Yes, mine is an 04. I've noticed that I can get the car to go into 1st after putting it into 2nd as you described.
I guess it must be the synchros....just one thing...wtf are synchros?
