Not actually catching first the usual soft thud of going into first that was a clunk is now nothing more than a tap. As if the thing didn't shift at all.
Okay, well let's adjusting the gear selector next, and just for the hell of it have you tried just shifting into second instead? And I assume the bike is running while your doing all this right?

Some notes on how it should be, the shift mechanisim can be completlly locked if badly out of adjustment. What you want is the levers on both ends to form as close to a 90 deg. angls to the rod at rest condition. On the shift pedal the line from the ball end of the rod to the pivot bolt centerline is the angle I mean. I you think of the levers as a full circle the rod should be tangent to that circle on both ends

If this fails, I'm out of ideas, next step start checking the shift mechanism, then .......
