Bob,
If you're talking about shifting into first gear from a dead stop, try
moving the gear lever into second gear first, then put it into first. If
you're talking about shifting into first while moving - which I assume
you are, learn how to double-clutch. If nobody else jumps in here to
explain, I'll do later but have to leave right now.
