Now put it in N and let go of the clutch pedal. Push the pedal back down again and try going into 1st again. Does it feel hard to engage again the first time? If so, I would say your clutch is either dragging or over extending, or it could be the fluid is too slick not allowing enough friction for the synchro blocker to work correctly. Where is the 'friction zone' when you try to move forward? If it's pretty high up, then you could be over extending the PP causing issues. If that is the case push the clutch pedal down 3/4 of the way and do the same test. If it pops in easy, then you need to move the adjustment rod back in a few turns.

It's definitely yes and yes to your first comment. If I keep the pedal pressed, going back into 1st the second time is much much easier and the first time I try it's hard.
I'll try the second test later tonight. How can I check if my clutch it dragging? I'll check my friction zone too, but I think it's pretty high up. Let me double check.
Thanks!
