Sounds like it's time for a set of shift bushings and some adjusting.

I have a 1961 190Db that gets used about every five years.
Tired to move it about six months ago and it won't go into first gear; has three on the tree.
It'll go into second, third and reverse, with or without the clutch being pushed; won't go into first.
I jacked one rear wheel off the ground; won't go into first, with or without the clutch being depressed.
Other gears do connect the rear wheel to the motor. I can see the whole linkage that is outside the transmission and it is trying.
Any ideas?  Bill in Oregon

Well, that was it. Thought I had a 3-on-the tree (Chevy ?) and I have 4. Seems to go into all four gears plus reverse. I have a short front brake pipe coming, then I’ll take it around the block. Again, thanks. Bill in Oregon

Bill,

It's been a long time, but there is no way the 190Db has three on the tree. What you have is four on the tree + reverse. First is up toward you, second down, third up and away and fourth down and away.

Hope this helps.
