What they said: look for and fix slop in the linkage. Maybe just need a minor adjustment at the round rod from the shifter and the pinch clamp at the linkage. 13mm wrench to loosen but not too much--just enough to spin it a tiny bit one way or the other. Tighten and test--if it won't go into 1st then go the other way with the pinch clamp.
