My wife is having difficulty in shifting her TR3 into first gear at a 
stop.  I
have worked with her on letting the clutch out slightly etc, but it's 
like it
just will not slide into gear for her.  I don't have as much trouble, 
but it is
difficult at times.  It is a non-syncro overdrive....

==AM==
For at least a short-term solution, try (with clutch in, of course ;-) 
) briefly pulling the gear lever towards 2nd and then go for 1st.

Triumph Herald engine with  wings.
