This has happened in 3 different trannies, new gear oil each time.

Just gotta pay attention.

I used to run synchromesh, then changed to royal purple. It feels a little more notchy than the syncromesh so I will probably switch back or try MT90. I have always run gl4 in all my trannies though.

That's the problem, it happens coming out of first gear. Hard to keep wheel spin to a minimum in first.

I hope it's just the cable. It usually only happens at the track or street after launching with quite a bit of wheel spin, if I feather it in first up to 9k to keep the wheel spin down, it will usually shift in 2nd without much of a problem.
I have mine grabbing 3/4 of the way to the floor. I can feel it flucuate distance at the track after beating on it a bit.
