mine didn't go into first when the clutch did not fully disengage. clutch adjustment required with too much play.

also needed a readjustment of the front shift linkage.

i was pleasantly surprised to find that i could make my shifter pattern more to my liking. more rearward and to the left while still fully engaging the gears.

just had to throw my $.02 in. =-)

Enough of this prattle and uninformed speculation, most of which looks like the poster never read the question. Back to the problem! If you can't engage first gear with the linkage disconnected, drain the oil, lower the tranny a bit, and pull the cover. Sounds like something in the synchro came adrift. Might be a toasted slider, but it sounds more like it's in the gear. Report back, with pix. The Cap'n

So i drove the car again last night. Essentially, i was "assuming the postion"
I backed it in and out of the garage, and onto ramps. No problem whatsoever finding reverse, or shifting into second.
I plan on opening her up on saturday morn.
I will have a couple of spare tranny's available for picking parts from if necessary , and will report back with pics
I hope some of you are online saturday for help and encouragement. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks for all the feedback (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Make sure Gimp is there with his WHITE LeMans Jacket on! Oh, and if you can get Clay Perrine to come up from Tejas, he's short enough to walk under the tranny without jackstands (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Time to rebuild First. I'll have to get some pictures of what we found, but essentially, I need to replace the Syncro Band, Dogteeth, and Slider. All were worn pretty good.
I had the pleasure of having a man by the name of Grady Clay come over and assist in the tear down. He is an incredible assett to the Porsche community, and had some fantastic stories to share. At one time, he owned 38 porsches, 2 of which were 904's that he purchased for $6000 each, and later sold for much, much, much, more.
He currently owns 4 914-6's and a few others.

We disassembled my tranny from the tailcone, then took a look see at the insides of 3 other trannies (thanks steve). Gint got his shorts dirty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) and Brian Munday showed up to his first CO event (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'll post pics later. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

But the question still remains...... why wouldn't it go into first? Inquiring minds want to know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead horse.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

because everything was worn.
when we played with the parts off of the car, we had a hard time engaging the slider onto the teeth due to the wear.

OK, the one side of the 1st gear slider is supposed to be flat....there is nothing for it to engauge to so no need for teeth. I wanted to see what i looked like together (synchro band bulge factor).

What condition were the brake band and blocks in?

So far you can use the typical; slider, teeth, synchro band....notice the groove in teh synchro band where the dog teeth wore in? Not exactly correct me thinks.
