First Gear Help

Have you adjusted the linkage with the shifter in neutral and a long allen key or similar to adjust the rods?
Is the rod binding on the body/frame of the car?
Is this a 3 finger or diaphragm clutch? If its a 3 finger, make sure there is 5/32" space between the fingers and the TO bearing. I use a 5/32" allen key for this.

Thanks for the reply - I do not know how to adjust linkage I guess Ill dig into the book and figure it out the more I mess around with things I think it is linkage - if I put he shifter in 3rd then come out and slightly to the left it will go easily into first but if I try to bring the shifter too far left it will not go up to first.

Thanks Bill
