the gears have to move SOME for them to get into gear if they aren't lined up. normally, unless something being broken is the cause all you need to do is let the clutch out on the moving engine and then try again.
you'd be supprised how many people forget this when they start the car with the clutch pressed/hold it for a long time on a stop.

I just let off the clutch, then press it again, and it works. Sometimes it starts to go into gear, but as I let off the clutch, its' as if something has actually kicked the gear outta 1st and back into neutral. Weird...

if your car actually pops out of gear you might have a selector problem or something. but in my car i have to make sure and put it "all the way" into 1st, or it will sort of only half engage the syncro's.

particleeffect, gotcha. I remember Rikki told me the synchros on the 7 aren't all that great, and so it can give ya issues goin into first at times...and if it does, just put into second, then into first, and that somehow engages the synchro...it seems to work.
the kicking outta gear thing might be a problem w/ the selector, eh? Don't mind the newbie question...that's part of the tranny itself, right? I guess when my car finally goes to Gotham I'm gonna have them look @ the tranny...
Now that you mention it though, I *think* the kicking it out thing happens only when I shift half-***, ie I don't push 1st ALL the way in, like you mentioned. Cut me some slack...the car's black so it gets hot quick, the ACT HD clutch takes considerable effort, she's notchy as hell at low rpms, and traffic here is simply horrid...so yea, I get sloppy at times
