Well, the MB 4-spd in the 240D seems to be synchronized all the way down to first - no problem shifting into first while still rolling.

Drove the '68 220D for twenty years starting in Dec of 1970 and had to use reverse the first thing every day winter or summer. Can not ever remember it having any issues going into reverse or any other gear for that matter. It definitely had the ATF for the tranny fluid, so if anything it should have had even worse issues about shafts rotating. Had also driven a fair number of other manual tranny equipped cars over the years and this was by far the best one ever for feel and ease of operation. Some of the other trannys would refuse to go into reverse or low now and then, but that was because there were no syncros and the gears were just hitting tooth to tooth.

I suppose you could park the car differently so you start out in first gear instead of reverse?
;0 I find the same thing with my 240D - always need to go into first first, then while the clutch pedal is down go into reverse. Why are you guys going into second or third first? Who is on first? Ken300D
