What are the reasons for difficulty in engaging 1st and 2nd gears in a car?

The reason for difficulty in engaging 1st and 2nd gears in a car is: the speed does not match the gear, exceeding the capacity of the synchronizer. Below are the shifting methods: Shifting method: Shifting timing: Determine based on the engine sound or power, or according to the corresponding speed for each gear. Start the car in low gear (1st gear). Once started, shift up to higher gears promptly as road conditions permit, avoiding prolonged driving in low gears. Do not force the use of high gears on slopes or when speed decreases, nor should you drive for extended periods in lower gears under good road conditions. Shifting techniques: Gear shifting should follow the principle of "accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting." Before upshifting, "rev" the throttle to increase speed, and before downshifting, "release" the throttle to reduce speed. Use the "double-clutching method" when shifting. For upshifting, follow the principle of "press (clutch), shift (neutral), press (clutch), engage (higher gear)," quickly pressing the clutch pedal twice to shift up. For downshifting, follow the principle of "press (clutch), shift (neutral), release (clutch), rev (throttle), press (clutch), engage (lower gear)," pressing the clutch twice and revving the engine once in neutral after the first clutch press, then pressing the clutch pedal a second time while shifting the gear lever to the lower gear.
