Mine does it in first, I just thought that the syncronizers in the transmission were goin out, I havent heard alot of people on here talkin about the ls1s are notorious for trans acting up, so maybe it could be a coincidence, hopefully anyway!!

My friends started that way and slowly got worse. It accually ended up sticking in that gear, and he had to have the trans rebuilt.
