If they do have a break-in period. I have found no mention of that anywhere on the internet. On the advice of churchx I did have another look at the reverse lockout plate and I believe it to now be adjusted to where it should be. I don't however believe my issues to be clutch drag related. One advantage of the new transmission is that it has a lot more gear whine than the original unit did. I can physically hear the transmission wind down when the clutch is pressed. And I also raised the back wheels off the ground and checked again and they don't turn in gear
With the lockout plate adjusted, and the clutch not dragging, I had another look at the trans fluid. It was quite full. I'd reckon another 100-200ml overfilled. Like WHOOPS! So far it is behaving acceptably. I'll give it another couple days to a week before I will know if it worked. Took about that long for the problems to begin showing up in the first place

LOL I actually found a new transmission on eBay for around $600 CAD shipped. That eBay trans was the unit I rebuilt with new synchros and put in my car. Came from LKQ on The Ebay. This one had as many miles as the one in my car did. According to the service records, my car had its transmission replaced at 40K km and was at 66k km before I replaced it with the eBay unit that had 27K km on it
