I bought my 93 850GLT 5-speed in august and it has always had this problem: I cannot downshift into first gear until I am at a complete stop. I need to wait until the car has totally halted, to the point where it lurches forward a little bit. If I am coasting with the clutch in, i can shift into any gear except first. I physically can't get the shifter to go into the first gear spot. I can get it about half-way in on the grid, but then it just stops. Occasionally it will slip in if I push hard, but it makes a grinding noise. I have tried several things including replacing the clutch, throwout bearing and slave cylinder. After all this and still absolutely no improvement, my dealer says he will try putting an additive into the oil in next oil change. This problem is really annoying me, because I either have to start from second into a slow roll, or shift into neutral, do a complete stop, disengage the clutch, then engage it again, and it will go into 1st. Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but upshifting into second is a little rough, too, although it always goes. Please help if you have any idea. If I left out info, just ask and I'll be back to respond. Thanks.
