1st gear ???s Sometimes when I come to a stop and go to put it into first gear, it feels like their is somekind of lockout on it, like I can feel right where it stops the shifter from moving further. When this happens it has the same effect on 2nd gear while still allowing me to shift freely into 3&4. I end up having to just muscle it through the stoppage and it makes one bang and a real shitty feeling in the shifter, not even sure i'm in gear sometimes, but it goes in and then afterwards everythings fine.
Thanks for any advice, I just want to fix my transmission if somethings wrong cause it feels and sounds like crap shifting.

Most of the time the gear train is floating when that happens . It might need syncros but it probably needs to be reshimmed as well . I would suggest upgrading to a steel shift fork if you have someone build it for you .

I'll try that the next time it does it, but if I have to do that every time it could be pretty bothersome...
Maybe I should just upgrade my synchros and forks, how much would a good transmission build run me?

Hmmm... bring this back alive..
Mine is having a problem right now as well. Sometimes I cant get into 1st when at a light for the life of me so I take off in 2nd. The tranny is a BRAND NEW Viper Spec T56 and the clutch is a brand new Spec3 and flywheel. Not sure whats going on. Every gear is starting to feel a little notchy.
