from anything to 1st.. grinding
I think I read about this before.. but I can't find it in a search.
It seems that (in my 2 day old TT ) as I am pulling up to a light with the clutch depressed and I am still rolling slowly and try to put it into first that it will grind a little, like I didn't depress the clutch all the way. I think I heard about someone adding some length to the clutch since it goes so far down toward the floor. Anyone know about this?

Never, ever downshift into 1st when doing anything much more than rolling...
Really. The synchros shouldn't even be letting you in if you're doing much over 5 MPH, so if you're going 15 you must be forcing your way past the synchros, causing the grind...
