I finally got my Car/ rebuilt tranny back from the mechanic today, new 1st gear, slider, and syncro. However getting into first is very hard and reguires a good amount of force, is this normal? and will it get better as the gears are worked more.
No grinds on anything like that I am happy to say. 74 side shifter Thanks |

Good to hear the LE is driving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) In and out can be tight. The synchro also needs to move into its happy place where its blocks and bands are all optimized. There is no real way to screw up 1st as far as the shifting mechanism goes. Its straight forward. Ya just got to work it in. You can shift it like ya mean it and it will not grind. It is not an internal shift rod binding (only possible internal cause and verrrrrrrrrrrry unlikely).
