Gear re-syncing...

Im just checking if this is right. But to do quick re-sync is it 4-3-2-1, with the clutch in?

Wha? Did a salesman tell you to do that?

If you're coming to a stop, and are in 4th gear, it's best to put the clutch in and shift into 2nd before going into 1st.

Theres no need to "re-sync" the synchros.

it may be old school car knowledge, I forget where I got it. But I'm talking about at a stand still, putting the clutch in, and going from 4 to 3 to 2 to 1. To re-allign syncros or something. I notice that if I have a hard time getting into reverse or first, after I do this, it makes it much easier. that goes for all the manuals my family owns (3).
