Congrats Scotty, glad you are liking the car. The piston shift knob is not very comfortable.. I have no idea why people like that thing. 1st is a difficult gear to grab over 5 mph because of the synchros but a good revmatch will allow it at speed but it still doesn't like it very much... rarely even do it during autox here. The bushings in the shifter may have been tightened down a bit much will make for gear grabbing very notchy but also tough to pull back out of... might want to give it a look and see if its torqued over 8 ft/lbs... or perhaps needs some nice grease. RE92s are horrible, glad to see thats first on the list to go. :lol: Good luck with the car, best of luck with the progression.
