Do you move the shifter forward or backwards if it's having a hard time getting into first gear?

There's an adjustment on top of the transmission. Is this what you are adjusting? Since the cables and bushings stretch I would shorten the cable. If the shifter isn't right after that you adjusted it the wrong direction.

Thanks, I figured it out. If you go too far it goes into reverse:eek instead of first!

Has anybody ever made stiffer bushings? Is it the bushings that wear out or the cables that stretch? Or does the plastic arm deform?
