Hey everyone,
Here recently in my Celica it won't go into 1st or 3rd gears at times and I'll be sitting at a stop light and try to go into first and it will not go... the nly way to get it in is RAMM IT HARD or turn off the car put it in gear then restart. It also is grindin in reverse almost everytime i put it in. I'm tryin to avoid goin to the shop and gett screwed on princin for them to tell me it's nothin when i know it is. If you have any knowledge what so ever please help me out. Thanks!!!

Try this.

With your car sitting at a stop, put the Ebrake up and hold the clutch in. Shift between 1st and 2nd real fast and hard. Sometimes your syncro's need to be broken in a little more. Thats how it was when I got the new Transmission for my GT-S, they said its the best thing to get everything to work smooth with no problems. Too be quite honest, it helps too if you always shift hard and miss a gear, that technique helps by working in that gear, and since i've done that, i've never missed a gear.
