There is also supposed to be a little bit of slop at the top of the pedal travel. I think it was about an 1" of slop IIRC.

I guess I've never had a problem on my DSM's going into first while moving. I figure as long as it goes into gear fine without any grinding, its golden. I can see bad things happening though if people do that on a car with bad disengagement.
