A problem I am starting to have is grinding in 1st gear from a stop. If I am at a complete stop, I will push the clutch all the way down, and when I put it into first, it will usually grind, then go in. Sometimes it will be a loud grind, and sometimes it won't be too bad and be quick. What I have to do to avoid it, is when slowing down to a stop, I will clutch in and start to push stick into 1st, and let it slide in once I am at a complete stop, then stay stopped at the light or whatever with the clutch in. I checked the transmission oil and it was clean, the PO had changed it about 6 months ago. I took it to a shop and they couldn't replicate the problem (I don't think they tried), but they said I needed to replace the shifter cup, bushing, and joint. Would replacing those fix the 1st gear grinding issue?

Or maybe the pilot bearing.
It does it in reverse, too, doesn't it?
If not, you might have a really boogered- up shift mechanism...

The Pilot bearing has nothing to do with it grinding 1st gear
BUT, if it doesn't grind going into reverse, it kinda sounds like the
gearshift is hanging up a bit too far forward, and getting past the first gear synchro...
See if you can sort out the clutch travel first...
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves
