Yeah, I'd have a problem with driving a Toy too.
I've had that gear grinding thing on my 5sp 6er, usually when
I'm trying to park in front of my house so all my neighbors can
know just how incompetent I am. If I just let it sit in 5th for
a couple moments with the clutch all the way in, then it doesn't
happen. (visualize reverse!)

I notice this same problem in the delivery truck I have to drive (82 Toyota
P/U) I slightly rev the engine, and it'll go into gear w/o complaining. I
think my biggest problem was jsut the truck but oh well.... Greg
