In first and second gear itis hard to shift into but the rest are ok, and this only happens at certain times. After i back up in reverse sometimes and try to put it in first, i really have to pop it in. And also sometimes after im stoped for a period of time it will be hard to put in. When im in first however and rolling bout to shift to second its fine, just when stoped. I have adjusted the firewall quadrant to half an inch of clutch pedal play and clutch engauges fine (centerforce dual fric.) And tranny fluid is really full, Please help me!!!

possible bent shift forks..

Its extremly hard to troubleshoot transmission problems without acutally messing with and looking at the trans, but it could very well be the shift forks/linkage.

 

bc if its not grinding popping out anything like that....just hard to get into gear..and u have a new clutch and crap...my bet is a shift fork

 

just slip the clutch a little with the transmission out of gear, then fully disengage the clutch and slide it into 1st, see if that helps any.
