I occasionally get the old grinding gear noise (usually into 1st or reverse), and 3rd sometimes doesn't want to drop in too easily. Tranny was "freshened" about 3000 mi ago.

I replaced the clutch, throwout bearing, and cable when I took the tranny out. What is a little weird is the cable adjustment is all the way up the threaded rod despite all this new stuff. Am wondering if the shifting issues are related.

I've seen references to needing to "jack up" the clutch lever fulcrum with a washer. When I had the tranny rebuilt, I put it back in the way it came out, ie no washer.

Anybody have any experience in this area? Adding the washer means dropping the !@#$ tranny again, and CV joint grease is not my favorite hair gel, even if it does hide the gray.
