ok so today i was at a light going to school and for some reason i lean my shifter into 1st to get ready to go at the light, before i even press on the clutch i notice that it is starting to inch forward so i pull the shifter back, i lean it in agian and it does it again. is this normal or do i have some kind of problem?

If your foot was down on the clutch all the way, then no, it's not normal.

You weren't on a hill were you?

Was it only that light? or is it happening all the time?

or wait, I reread, so your foot was off the clutch and you were pushing the shifter into first? I'm surprised you didn't hear a grinding noise, but it's normal since the synchros were just matching the speeds of the dog tooth gears before fully engaging the gear. Try not to do it too much since it's hard on the synchros.

+1.

This is what I say. Perfectly normal.
