See if there's any left because even though my car shifts and drives way quieter and easier, it still will grind, notch, and clunk into every gear

As an experiment, try clutching in a hair earlier on shifts while keeping all your other movements the same (or even slowing down your shift action slightly). When I do that all my shifts are super smooth driving around town. It feels slightly odd shifting like that (almost feels like there's a fraction of overlap between the throttle and clutch), but the notchiness completely disappears for me.
Also if it makes you feel better, I've heard a transmission specialist say that it would take a substantial amount of gear grinding to meaningfully wear your transmission. I wouldn't worry too much about that unless you're really grinding constantly.
