Hi Paul.

My experience, in general, is that if a transmission
doesn't go into 1st, or reverse easily, it is related
to the clutch. The clutch hydraulics may not have been
bled properly so clutch mech. not disengaging fully,
clutch could be worn, or something in the shift
linkage is set incorrectly.

I had some kind of special (moly?) additive put in
along with new gear oil when oil last changed. It made
shifting easier. (getting into first, shifting down to
second)

Just my .02
