just make sure the connection at the gearbox linkage is correct, not loose or out of alignment. I spent a year not being able to get mine into first without a struggle until I checked / adjusted that.

yes change the gear box oil before you do anything else. I had really stiff gears but changing the oil made a world of difference.
