Jen:


My '87 syncro was very hard to get into 1st when
I bought it.  Varied some with temperature.
Moving the lever sideways back-and-forth was one
help to getting into 1st; the other was to start
from 2nd.


When I showed the problem to my mechanic, he
immediately knew what to do--some adjustment
that made it shift perfectly.


I suspect yours is a similar problem.
