My 71 stocker has a new trans. It shifts nicely through all gear, note still breaking in, so it's tight. But what i notice is when setting at a light, and pushing clutch down and going into first it can be hard to get it right and sometimes I have to double clutch to get into first so I don' t get a grind. All new bushing down to the rear tail...is there a correct way to make adjusting under tunnel inspection panel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

+1 on doing the simple, easy taking a couple of turns on the clutch adjustment, watching closely that you just begin to get engagement with the pedal about 1/3rd of the way up from the floor. This can also be checked with everything at operating temp by sitting in neutral foot off of clutch, then press clutch to floor, count 1,2,3 and 4 and shift into reverse. If no grinding, then clutch is OK.

That said, the first gear synchros and dog teeth condition are all different. I have the extreme pleasure of driving two Dr. Evil rebuilds every week. Standard procedure for me at traffic lights is in neutral with foot off of clutch. Kermee has a wonderful first gear, clicks in easily with a firm hand every time no matter what. Buttercup has a balky position on the synchro that sometimes just won't cooperate, other times drops in just fine (BTW she has the Rennshifter complete unit--wonderful).
So....standard procedure for Buttercup is to always shift into first while still rolling just coming to a stop. Then, at the stop with foot on clutch, shift it into neutral, back into first, then to neutral & take foot off of clutch to wait for the interminable light to go green. Nine times out of ten she drops in just fine--the tenth time it's just a second gear start, (which for that engine is a piece of cake.)
