Fixed the reverse one, ty RChead.

Yea dont try to rev match until you get comfortable driving stick cause it'll be awkward at first. To fyasko1, if you want to put it into 2nd at 40 mph, the transmission wants to be at 6k or so. If you just put it into gear the transmission spins up the clutch to 6k rpm. Rev matching you use the engine to spin up the transmission instead (which is why you need to be off the clutch and in neutral)

Edit: What are the gears called? Never knew what they were called. The idler gear is the outside gear right? so whats the gear called that goes into it?
