    Leaving a red mark(disagreeing) does not help fix a problem. You were suppose to Post additional info.
    You have engine oil, but DO YOU HAVE HYDRAULIC clutch, MAY need fluid.

    hi, I buahgt a 1999 space star 2 days ago, I have the same issue, it turns out the gearbox uses a thing called syncromesh, which means while ever the car is moving you can't engage the first gear, you can only engage the first gear if stationary =), I found it to be veryyyyy weird and I'm still adjusting to it! But there's nothing wrong with your gear box, my uncle an army machanic to me this so I trust his knowledge =D

    I have exactly the same problem
    My car did only 42k miles and the reverse gear is almost impossible to engage. First gear is hard but I got used to it. I took it to the local garage and they said it needs a new gearbox.
    Any insights?
