So I have the usual mods to the transmission in my 2000 GT - short throw, adjustable cable, racing clutch of unknown origion (installed by the previous owner). The problem is the tranny grinds when I shift hard into 3rd, and really its notchy into all other gears. I don't think its the cable as I just broke and replaced that about 2 years ago and only put on about 4 thousand miles since then. Could replacing the gear oil with something a little better help me out (royal purple maybe)? The car only has 52k and I'm hoping I don't already need to scrap the tranny. I want to get this sorted so I can head to Englishtown to make a few passes. Thanks for any help.

The T3650 I had in my 04 Mach did the same thing and it ended up being bent shift forks.
I would 1st look into adj the quadrent and make sure that is adj properly, then if it still grinds, well.. you have some bigger issues.
Also make sure that the stops on the short throw shifter are adj properly, as one adj too tight to the shifter will not allow it to go into gear all the way.
