Problem: the gentleperson has a problem shifting into first.

A friend's '83 GTI that I used to drive also had a similar problem -
finding first gear was a real problem! Fortunately, if you shift
into second first, you get it.

My '72 850 spider used to have a similar problem - if you didn't
shift into second first, when you let the clutch out it would pop
out of first and you'd be rolling backwards down the hill (oops)...
