I drive a 74 4 cylinder. W pulling my shift into 1st, say at a complete stop I have a very difficult time pulling the shift into 1st and sometimes I have to put in 2nd to go. Most of the time I will put it in 1st while coasting to a stop. When going through the rest of the gears the trans shifts very smooth. Any help would be appreciated. Mike

Make sure the clutch is properly adjusted.

I made the clutch adjustment................ first time I've done this, but it works much better. 1st gear slides right in. I replaced the motor mounts and all bushing a couple of years ago. Thanks everyone. Always a good education here! Thanks Mike

When trouble shooting a problem, you should always do the easiest thing first. In other words, it's a lot easier to first make sure the clutch is adjusted properly than it is to pull the engine and trans. to check the clutch fork. IMHO
