I am making progress. Unfortunately just when I think I have gotten the process down I miss a shift, especially 2nd to 3rd. I tend to think that I forget it is not synchronized and began shifting as if it was a synchronized transmission. Still not second nature. Downshifts are a challenge especially when climbing steep hills. Can't wait to get the old girl tagged so I can "practice" farther from the farm.
I also noticed that it is often difficult to shift into first gear (when stopped) unless I first shift into 3rd gear. It seems as though it is a shifting fork/rail issue. Is this normal? I did not rebuild the 4 speed, as it looked real clean inside without any measurable lateral play in the bearings/shafts. Undoubtedly the man that used the transmission before me was an experienced double clutch driver.
