Not sure I understand. If you can get it in first gear and it jumps out, then 1-2 syncro is probably shot. If you're not even getting it in gear, it's probably the shifter. Take the shift rod off the lever on the side cover of the tranny and see if you can engage first any better that way.



Let me clarify:
First gear would not stay in gear and felt only
partially engaged. I adjusted the neutral position
on the hurst shifter then dropped the 1-2 rod and
adjusted that. I am out of threads on the adjustment. Second gear works and engages fine. First still only feels like it is half way in, but it will stay in gear now. It's hard to fell first
engagement under the car using a wrench to turn the 1-2 shaft so I am wondering if it's the linkage bend is off and needs to be shortened more
or increase threads as second gear still works great, or if it might be in the syncs or a gear.
