63 Spd Manual wont shift into First

•I agree with Sireland67!
"Sounds like the throw out bearing is toast.
Time to tear into the clutch." There is a missing tooth or worn down tooth on one of those gears!

•John's Mustangs.. has the rubber bushings you need for the linkage, the bushings fits most make linkage
•Mac's.. antique auto parts has them as well
•Dearborn.. Classics has them as well

I am old school, so I went to your local hardware store and bought a solid rubber bushing with a 1/4 in. hole, 1 in. o.d. Then I curved out the side all the way around, leaving a rubber side on each side. Don't cut to the hole, leave a 1/8 of an in., then using the metal washers as a sand witch around the bushing, (washers that should be still on your linkage). You will have to make two for each linkage. Add metal washers to the lower arm next to tranny, until just alittle play. NOW... you have a tight shifter. Good Luck!
