I have found that just blipping the throttle a tad and THEN engaging the clutch and shifting into first works fine. Like a mini double clutch move, which by the way is the the best way I've found to smooth out my shifting all the time.

I had an 87 Carrera with the G50 and didn't have any 1st gear issues, but it still was a notchy long throw shift compared to more modern Porsches. I would think the 89 would be the best choice not only because of the G50 but because it's the last of the series.

not being able to get back into first gear is almost always a bad shift rod coupling...that is if you believe the gearbox is basically OK. After 165,000 miles on a '88 930..that's my experience! coupling is 91142402404 and the shift coupling screw (use a new one!) is 90142422900. Takes about 30 minutes to install....have a good..experienced Porsche mechanic do it so it's centered etc. Don't be talked into a adjustment...only lasts a short time. And Swepco 201 is a must, must, must!
