Whenever this happens, I have to stop the car, shift to first, then drive on - often pissing off those who are following. If I select 2nd, I have to slip the clutch and bog the engine.

Any suggestions?
Wow, I've only ever seen this problem on Harley's! I have absolutely no problems shifting into 1st (provided the RPM's aren't too high) and I don't see any reason not to. I like to pull up to the corners, downshift into 2nd while braking, then shift into 1st to pull out of the corner. I do notice that it works better if you don't completely let off the throttle.

Giggle. 987S can't shift into 1st. Ah, there's justice in the world after all!
