Jumps out of first gear?

when i first got my rocket it jumped out of first a few times and i was watching a thread about it.
what i would do is to make sure it went into first. i noticed that sometimes it went in soft (without clunk and it was more likely to happen then. so after a soft shift i would let the clutch out about half way to see if it would hold or not. some where along the way it quit doing that and has been a long time since it has.

I’ve read IDK instruction sheet and agree.
Thanks for the reply. First gear (which is the only one it jumps out of) can be mitigated by keeping my toe on the lever as I release the clutch and it then engages gear. Its not being able to find neutral is the most annoying (and embarrassing!).
 
Ive had a response from one engineer who has stated 'its reasonably simple and only a few hours work and the parts are quite cheap' so I think we are making progress. I have also sourced all the specialist parts.
 
mine has never been good at getting first.
sometimes i just give it some throttle and let the clutch out a little(so it will move forward a few inches) then select 1st.
 
Mine just got waay better after I put in Motul oil, pricey but our friends from OZ recommend it.
 
If it's only when you went to first from neutral, I'd almost say it's the nature of the beast. Mine got better after Carpenter rebuilt the transmission and back cut the gears
