Matt,
Shifting into first gear on the 915-gear box has always been troublesome. When I come to a complete stop, shifting into first gear will go smoothly fifty percent of the time on my 1980 SC. If I have trouble shifting into first, I will double clutch. Can I assume that the shifting coupler is aligned correctly because it works great half the time?
I will try moving into 2nd and 4th gear as suggested.
I purchased my first 1972-T 911 in September 1971 and it wasn't long before I had issues when down shifting into first gear. It also wanted to pop out of first gear when I was hard on the gas pedal. Factory rep that was assigned to the Southeastern district looked at it in New Orleans Porsche dealership, and about all he could do was scratch his head.
