welt HD shifter springs, do they really help? Options

[sk8kat1]

I have an issue with when I am shifting 1--> 2nd it seems to nick reverse or grind very lightly .... I tried to adjust the cluch but it really doesn't seem to make a huge differance

it seems to get better once the car warms up a bit but never goes away completely

I am going to be draing the trans fluid and putting in swepco 201 hoping to help this some

I read the description of the welt kikt and it seems to describ my situation but wanted to know if anyone has experiance with the kit

or

if anyone has any other thoughts on my issue

I add the spring kit and it helped a lot to spring the shifter into second gear position.

I was completely happy with the results.

I then bought the Rennshift and now am super happy because of the decreased throw and new everything.

Having said that, when I installed the springs I made a special tool to compress the spring that allowed me to slip it into place and put the pins in and everything so I never had any issues in the installatation excepted that I broke the drill bit creating the extra holes for the springs.

I used the kit to help out with the "grind" too. As it turned out I had to replace my 1st gear synchro.
