And the tranny shouldn't allow you to put it into first at any speed above 20mph, and in 3rd gear you should at least be at 80mph if you're speed shifting.
So in conclusion

Only Hondas and like have the dummy 1st gear lockout. T56's dont, and Im positive the Getrags dont. At least, if we do have one, its not 20mph
Other than that, I have no idea how you would misshift 3rd to 1st and not 3rd to 2nd.. But anythings possible from certain group of people
