Default Trouble shifting in 1st gear

I had my clutch replaced last summer and just started driving my car again a week or 2 ago.

So i noticed sometimes my shifter get stuck in 1st when i try to shift to second. Not complete stuck but i have to pull hard to get it to go in second. This doesn;t happen everytime i shift eaither.

any thoughts?

Are you making sure your pushing the clutch all the way in? Do you have a short throw shifter or the ****ty stocker? My stocker did this and I bought a mgw and everything has been great!

Sounds like your clutch is not disengaging completely. Could be a cable issue or a pressure plate issue...

ya looks like a cable issue, when you had your clutch replaced, did you add a quadrant adjuster also? the stock one supposebly adjusts itself, but theres some flaws in it, so it may just be a quadrant adjustment thats needed.
