I agree with Chuck. It’s easy to forget to retard the idle after the engine warms up.

I also like to gently push the gearshift down so you can feel when it’s ready to go into first gear rather than trying to slam it into first. Had the same problem with an early 356 pre-A Porsche that had square cut gears.
