My first gear is a little tricky after resetting as well... I have locked the gear box and gear stick in their positions as required but they never seem to come out quite right.
I have the 42DD bushings as well but there is still slack in the changes. Starting to think the selectors in the box are where most of the slack is :sad1:

Did you preload the cables before releasing the springs? Basically pull the cables towards you to remove the slack and then release the springs. It did mine again today and it feels far less notchy and first gear engages fine now as well.
