Sorry apex I know you just replied to all the same things I just said.

Your transmission issues might all stem from the TOB issue. On my old clutch assembly, when cold, it would seem to drag and cause a small grind in 2nd and 3rd unless I shifted perfectly. After changing the assembly and getting everything re-greased, things work much more smoothly when cold.

The transmission will still seem balky after cold starts under 40*F, I think that's just the nature of this gearbox. It works fine for me as long as I'm taking a good warmup procedure (I literally shift out of 1st at 4000 rpms first thing in the morning, uphill), shifting like the car wants to be shifted then I have no problems.
