 And if you're having troubles getting the shift knob in gear at that speed, that's the car telling you you're doing it wrong...I will agree that SRM is pretty bad at downshifting to 1st. I can rev match myself better. But downshifting into first at 20 mph is pointless and almost guaranteed to cause you problems down the road. The only reason I ever downshift to 1st is when I'm slowly approaching a red light that turns green before stopping and when I'm approaching my driveway to avoid scraping.
