Have the shifter in my car and this is spot on to the same problem I am having.... Every gear is perfect accept for 1st...... +1 on the location... I am actually thinking about extending the shifter up and over closer to the wheel..... I daily the car 76 miles monday-friday and occasionally do some hard backroads driving and haven't had any problem other than the first gear crap shoot.......

you know guys this has to be a simple case of adjustment of the cable length. I suggest this because I had no issues with first at all. I had a slight issue under performance shifting in fifth.

Now as to which way to adjust, don't know. You might have to reinstall the oem, remark the cables in their native position then reinstall the ikeya.
