Bob, my understanding is that when idleing in neutral then pushing the clutch in to shift to first is that the clutch and forward part of the tranny is still spinning for a moment. Waiting two or three seconds allows these parts to stop and first to slip right in without the syncros having to work.
Your thoughts,
