Brian and Jim-
Thank you for your replies.  I have 2 questions:

[In the meantime, does it help if you push toward the ground as you move it into first? I've started doing that after a couple grinds. I'm not sure if
my bushing is warn, or if I just had a tendency to lift up slightly upon
seleting first gear.

Brian- I'll try that. So, if it were working properly would I have to pull up on the shifter to get into reverse?

[I 'repaired' the worn plastic bushing in the Frankenheap's shifter
using Shoe Goo.  Helped a lot.

Jim-
Where is the "worn plastic bushing" and how do I get at it and fix it?
