Difficulty shifting into 1st ......
Had a new Pressure Plate & clutch installed on my '05 997S a few weeks back.
Periodically I have difficulty shifting to 1st from a green light for example.....
Is it possible that I need a shift linkage adjustment. It feels like its stuck between 1st & 3rd and can't find 1st.
Thanks for help & info.

Happens to me periodically as well (2009 997.2 C4S). Clutch back in - shifter to neutral - blip throttle - into first easily. Cold seems to have no influence on this and I drive the little snowmobile WAY below zero

If you move shifter slightly towards 2nd then back into 1st works like a charm - no need to go to neutral and blip throttle. Cold does seem to have an effect on shift into first especially with a short shift kit - Porsche even offers a disclaimer in their advertising materials about it.
