Not Normal.

Does it 'grind'?

or Just doesn't want to go into gear? Do you have the stock shifter?

Orig. clutch?

We may need a little more info.

I’ve heard going into first is harder (it is for me) as they don’t have syncros in he first gear.

Forward gears are synchronized and helical cut.
A reverse gear operates through a constant-mesh, fully synchronized system.

 

I can down shift to first from 35 without issue.

I had my tranny redone by AMP Performance in Phx. (got sick of a useless first gear w/3.73's)
Went from a crappy stock shift that ground into second a lot and a 'Guess Where You Are' tranny with a worthless first gear. First and Second ratio was changed, upgraded new syncros installed, MGW2, and it made one hell of difference!!! Shifts are crisp and positive both up and down... the best Mod for $$$ I have done so far.

1st on mine a little touchy-have to let things wind down a bit, but I cuss reverse all the time, get embarrassed if people around-they think I don't know how to shift the damn thing, just grind it.

 

It sounds like the clutch pedal is not being depressed far enough to disengage the clutch plates.
From what I understand the clutches in the pre 13 cars don't fully disengage until you get the clutch pedal almost to the floor.
The problem was "corrected on the 13-14 GT500's through the use of a different TOB and clutch master cylinder, thereby creating a new problem, clutch pedal not engaging until it is at the top of the stroke.

I would check the fluid level, bleed the clutch system and remove any air so you will get full stroke.

 

Snoopy.

Yep.

Clutch disengagement on my 14. Very early in the pedal down stroke.

Exactly what I thought when I first got mine. Really never grinds gears.

Something to get used to if you drive the standard (average) manual trans cars.

 

It very rarely grinds only sometimes going into 2nd when I'm rolling
So you guys think check the fluid?
It's weired that on uphill shifts out of 1st it's almost stuck in gear and has to be pulled out
Yes stock tranny and clutch
