I'm unable to get into first gear without forcing it in unless the car has a little momentum. Reverse selection is a hell of a grind to get in also. 2nd to 5th are as smooth as silk.
All of the slector bushings were new just 2 years ago. Same for the clutch which has done less than 2000 miles. Any tips on what to look for? |

I'd suggest starting with verifying clutch adjustment.

I'd suggest starting with verifying clutch adjustment. Yep, too often it's that and has been out of adjustment for a long time grinding off the dogteeth which is part of the grinding. Tighten it up and get it just so the throwout bearing isn't just touching the clutch plate. A old clutch cable too with lots of stretch in it also makes it hard to have a smooth gear shifting into 1st/Rev. |
