Took the car out for a spin, and I still can't figure out the notchy trans issue. It will chatter gears on the shift (mild grind) but only if I shift very slowly. Almost like the clutch is not released all the way, but it is. If the car is on stands, the wheels don't move at all until the clutch is released, so I know the clutch is adjusted properly.
I am thinking it could possibly be an issue with the cables, or the fluid is too thick. But others have run the heavy shockproof in these transmissions without issues. The transmission showed hardly any signs of wear on the synchros when I took it apart. I just can't find out why it would grind when shifting slow, but do just fine when shifting a little quicker. The solution could be to shift faster, but I really want to find out what is causing the issue. I'm not feeling very good about the shifter cables... I fixed them up pretty good, but perhaps they are too beat up to be useable.
