There is a legend that if the lay shaft isn't absolutely straight, the car won't shift correctly. And then there is clutch drag and pilot bearing drag that can cause havoc. And Swepco oil makes the shift to second a real drag in colder climates. IMO, it makes the shift to second a really deliberate process on any car I have run it in.
I don't know if you have a problem or not, but I'd look at changing the fluid first. You can always tell if there is Swepco in the box.
The sweetest 915s are very sweet, and talk to your fingertips. Some are only going to respond to a rebuild by a real persnickety expert, or so I'm told. Having driven some over the years, for every doggy one there is another that is a gem, and a bunch of average ones. But I never drove even a balky one wouldn't go into gear if you drive them the way they want to be driven.
