this is a classic synchro ring symptom. shift linkage adjustments will do nothing here. in some circumstances, replacing the tranny fluid with some good stuff (i.e. redline) will help.

kurt - since you just had your synchro replaced, drive it easy for awhile. the mating surfaces on the assembly take a little time to break in & form a good fit. drive it easy and take shift slowly from 1st to 2nd. don't just shift as fast as you can. press the clutch and ease the car into 2nd; give the new synchro time to do its job and sync up the next gear.

FYI, the synchros in the 986 / 996 aren't all that quick to react. if you try to shift fast, it will often grind. once the rings wear, they'll grind almost every time.
