There have been several scenarios discussed.
One person having the same problem had a pilot bushing that had
disintegrated.
Another person had the plastic ball guides worn out.
Another person had the linkage askew.
Still another had a clutch slave cylinder that was bleeding down when
stopped at red lights with the clutch depressed.
Take your choice:

I have an '89 Sycro and am having problems shifting into first gear.  All
the other gears are fine (I am using the low 1st gear to get rolling).  I
thought I remembered seeing this problem addressed previously on the
list, but I couldn't find it in the archives. I believe it was solved by
adjusting (rotating?) some part of the linkage.  Does anyone have the
details on this procedure?
