Putting the car in "First" gear is tough, kind of have to force it, and sometimes pops out.. All other gears are smooth..

Your thoughts?

syncro? clutch?

Usually 1st gear problems are clutch related. Check for clutch drag by (in a clear/flat area) holding the clutch in, trans in gear, and rev the motor to 5000+ rpms. The car shouldn't move. If it does, you may want to flush/bleed your hydraulics.

If the car doesn't move, and you only have the problem in 1st, you may have a worn blocker on 1st gear.. Time for a rebuild..
