Before you get a tranny rebuild, how bad is it? There was a similar thread a few months back where many people reported that occasionally they didn’t get first gear fully engaged when at a stop, like a stoplight. I’ve had that issue since I bought my car nearly 5 years ago. I have just gotten into the habit of making certain first is fully engaged before letting out the clutch. The issue is still there, but it is rarely a problem since I double check it is fully engaged before pulling away from a stop. I’m sure as hell not rebuilding my tranny over it.

Latest update lads
I'm doing what I should of done first and what I would advice anyone to do in future
Drain the oil
Wash the gearbox out with fresh oil
And repeat the process until the oil drains out clean
New cables and gear shifter
Exhaust all these options FIRST instead of diving head first in to ripping the gearbox out and having it rebuilt

i suspect a bearing has begun to fail. they literally will liquify. but that usually has accompanying gear whine noise etc.
gl w it. g'box issues are no joke - financially.

how many miles?
the factory rec of 90k before gear oil change is hopelessly optimistic. i change it w delvac about every 40k miles. that's twice so far since my g'box was refreshed.
