M50D hard getting into first

here's another silly question: when i try to shift in to first in my 88 F150, it is very hard, i have to sometimes shove it to go in 1st. other gears shift smoothly.
could it possibly be in the shifter?? was told the slave cyl may be weak too.
otherwise it runs strong please help!!

learn to start out in second gear. Did it all the time in my old ford with no damage to tranny, it had over 200k's also. Save you the cost of a fix.
