1st gear sucks!

2000 Boxster S - 6 Speed
No aftermarket mods
82,400 miles

Ok... Can't quite put my finger on it, but...

When I bought my car a few months ago it had great pickup and if I wanted to I could peel out (not that I wanted to). Now for whatever reason 1st gear kinda sucks. Car just doesn't launch me into orbit like it did when I bought it. Higher ears still give me goose pimples on the highway, but 1st feels like I really have to push it now.

- I have no codes
- No idle problems
- Clutch is still engaging low
- I'm not experiencing gear "slippage" (as far as I can tell)

Took the car to a local indy shop and they said that the clutch still felt pretty good to them. They would need the car for a day or two to diagnose... Not excited about that idea.

Things I've read:
Could be the MAF. (Durametric data says it reads normal)
Could be the Cats. (Don't know what to look for)

Any ideas what else?
