shifting Options

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)

It's a 914 thing we all experience sometimes, been one of the more popular Post subjects. In short, the best solution is, when coming to a stop down shift to second and then to first, before stopping and keep the clutch peddle down until the light turns green.

Also, the shift linkage bushings ware out and may need to be replaced. The one in the fire wall is the one that I think is potentially the major one to replace that helps the most. My 74 is a side shifter but your's may still be a rear shifter which is a little harder to get right with the adjustments for clean shifting I beleive.
