Sounds like synchros. Also, keep in mind that 1st gear has a gear stop so you can't shift into 1st gear while going over 10 MPH. If you try to shift into 1st it almost seems like the synchros aren't synching.

I find when I try to shift into first when I'm going above 10mph it doesn't want to let me.

I only use first now to take off, hardly ever down shift into it while moving.

Depends on who you have do it. Probably looking at half a day and $400+ if Ford did it. Is it still under warranty?
