Although this is not my first complete 914 restoration, this is the first time I am having this problem. I am at that point where I have the engine /trans back into the car. All systems go the engine runs great. I can fell it notch into all gears except first. Yet when I shift from under the car manually selecting first it notches in and hold. When I shift from in the car using the shift lever it wants to jump of first I have followed the shop manual instruction to the letter to no avail...Any suggestions out there.

Tailshift or side shift?
Last time I replaced the side shift bushing in the rear console, I put it in backwards and it blocked the linkage from going back all the way.
