Default Maalish - my 1st gear problems weren't caused by the clutch. (m)

The problem is still there. But then, our symptoms weren't exactly the same. My problem was that sometimes while the car is at a standstill I can't put it into 1st. If the car rolls a couple of inches, I can.

Replacing the clutch (while perhaps well warranted) did not resolve any problems that I was actually experiencing.

Default Possible problem...

I experienced this same problem, except rolling did nothing to get it into gear. I would take a look at your linkage and bolt settings. Try adjusting them slightly with the slides and try it while it's apart, see if there is a notchyness or hesitation to getting the gear to lock in. Keep playing with the settings until smooth and I'm sure it'll be fine. Lemme know how it goes. I replaced my clutch with a dual friction centerforce and it did not fix the slop with the 1st gear thing until I re-adjusted the bolts on the linkage. They come loose if not tightened properly.
