Default Grinding from N->1st

Hello all.
I know theres alot of discussions about the grinding but its usually from 1-2 or 2-3rd
but I couldn't find one that was neutral going in to first.
it grinds like 2 out of 3 times.
each time I hear it , it kills me.
what could I do to fix it before it gets worse.
I have changed the transmission fluid. but no change
please help
thanks

Maybe your clutch isn't fully engaging/disengaging?

That, and/or you're pushing it into gear to quickly. The 1st and reverse synchros are not as beefy as the other synchros - you need to ease it into gear smoothly.

A thorough clutch bleed/flush should take care of it.

Thanks
when I ease 1st gear, the grind just last longer so I quickly jam it in to make it less painful.
I'll try a clutch flush next week
how would I know if my clutch is fully engaging/disengaging?

When you can go into gear without it grinding
