My 1999 GT Turbo has become VERY hard to shift from 1st. to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd, the rest of the gears are fine! Once I get it into gear there is no problems... The clutch has been inspected, with no faults. The gearbox has been inspected, and the small clips that "guides" the syncros onto the gearwheels, are replaced, but it only helped very little. any ideas anyone??
Faulty shiftfalk?, faulty gearstick? I'm blank........

have seen boxes where the syncro rings are highly polished. This create similar problems. Cured by removing syncro rings, and flatting the driven surfaces with some fine "wet n dry" paper till a "matt" surface is visible.
This occurs normally if the gearchange is "raced" or too quick a change between the gears, so the syncro's heat up and shine up.

I had a simular problem with my gearbox after a renewal of 1-3 gear. It turned out to be a bend shifting fork. It seems like it grabs the gear right, but after running with it for a month it blew up again. When I took it apart you could see that it only took the gears half way :-(

Mine is doing the same. Just had it in for a service and have been told that the clutch is on it's way out. The mechanic at the dealership says that the clutch isn't disengaging from the flywheel fully and that is what is causing the gearbox selection problem. I've been advised to get it sorted soon or the gearbox will start to break.
So i'm looking for a decent clutch without paying silly money...
hope this helps.
