1 out of 500 times, when i shift into first out of neutral from stop, it wont go into the 1st gear. I then have to shift it into 2nd and without letting the clutch go, rev it a tad to spin the tranny, then itll let me shift into 1st.

Does this happen only to me?
Used to happen to me, but I changed trans & diff fluids to synthetic when I installed the C6 shifter...now it goes in smoothly and doesn't pop out unexpectedly. Sounds kind of erotic

My first post!!
I just bought a '99 C5 that pops out of first more often...50% of the time. Syncros? Any thoughts where to begin to troubleshoot?

Oh my!! Years ago this meant you had worn gears and all you can do is replace them... I used to have a Muncie 4 speed that did that... pop out of gear under hard acceleration... it sucked!!
I don't know if it still means the same thing? Others will chime in...
