Locked out of first on startup???

Ok so this evening when I was putting the SS/SC in my garage it wouldn't let me get into first. I tried going into second and then back but that wouldn't work either. This also happened to me the first month that I had the car and I was being a ******* and just slammed it in. I've never cried so much after hearing that god-awful sound the tranny made. Anyway, I didn't make that mistake again. I shut it down, restarted, and back to normal. WTF could this be??????

It's our first gears, they have an attitude problem..Next time it happens, try putting it into first lightly, if it doesn't work, give it a little gas, like...1500rpm, and put it in while you're giving it gas (just don't disenguage clutch) That should work. It works for me every time.
