Hi Bill,

No, it is not possible to modify and synchronize low. You might consider a little practice with double clutching into low while still in a very slow roll.

This can be accomplished by pushing in the clutch, pulling the shifter in neutral, releasing the clutch, bringing up the rpm's (to match gear rotational speeds), and quickly depressing the clutch while pulling into low.

It take some practice, but can be accomplished and mastered. You will develop a feel over time and will skillfully shift in and out of low like they did in the old days.
