Default Clutch Adjustment??

I've just recently started having a problem with my car not wanting to allow the shifter into first gear. I sometimes have to pump the clutch to get it into gear. No problems in any other gear. Can this be solved with a simple adjustment?

I'm preety much having the same problem but only in third. I will be getting my spec adjusted on Friday, hopefully that will solve my problem. I most def agree with everyone else start with the quick fix until you have to spend alot of money. Good luck!

I've been having a similiar problem with the car sometimes wanting to grind 3rd. Adjusting the stock quadrant is a pain in the ***, and doesn't last too long. My Maximum Motorsports kit should be here monday, I can't wait.
