Im struggling to get 1st gear when going from neutral but can get 1st gear fine if i put it into 2nd then up into 1st.

Would this be a gear linkage problem?

Are you moving while trying to put it into first?

Where's biting point on your clutch?

Might be worth adjusting it

I would say the biting point is quite low down but not right at the bottom.

Use some sort of lever/breaker bar to push the clutch lever back and tighten the adjuster.

When my cable got old it started stretching like a bitch. Was constantly adjusting it.

Then it went pop.
