I have had this problem ever since I got the car in January. Sometimes 1st gear can be an arse to get.

Would this be clutch related or gearbox?

It's never had a new clutch and it's on 108k (1.4 RTI 1992 ph2)

Cheers all

it may still be something to do with gear linkage ,i had to lift the thing to get in to 5th when i bought the chamade
gone under the car and examined the way gear linkage works while my neighbour in the car was telling me what gear it went in as i messed with the linkage .than figured out putting a washer in the linkage would make it work tidy and it did Laughing

also have you checked your box oil ? changing it works wonders
