Try checking the nuts that hold the top cover in place. If the nuts on the
right side of the top cover are quite tight it will restrict movement of the
1-2 shaft, thus causing tough shifts. (and the nuts on the left will affect
3-4 if over-tightened) You may also notice tough shifts in reverse, but
since you are moving the spring plate as well, it may not be as noticeable.
Another possibility -- I'm told that the top cover and case were machined
together and thus should be kept as a set. It's likely that by this time the
top cover might not be with its original case and there may be a little bit
of interference in the fit. Generally, if the cover is not on too tightly,
this will wear in. but you can do some encouragement to the wear process by
shifting it back and forth a few hundred times... worked for me on a recent
rebuild where I knew it wasn't the original cover.
I was planning on going to a SIII box and using the existing SII bell
housing and hydraulics. I'm interested in hearing which is going to be the
most successful with the least work.
