from what ive been told you're not supposed to downshift into 1st ever, as 1st doesnt have synchros, (or it does but you ruin them). regardless, i do it all the time in parking lots/speed bumps. before rolling over a speed bump @ 1-2mph, ill quickly double clutch and throw it into 1st without an issue. i never force the shifter into any gear! if you feel any resistance, its usually because you're doing something you're not supposed to
