As far as transmissions go, there seems to be an issue with McCloud clutches not 100% disengaging and killing synchronizers. Going to switch out something else and try again.
I've found in my experience, that almost all clutch difficulties are install error, not the actual clutch.

Use a hardened steel clutch tool, or even a sawed off input shaft from any Subaru manual transmission, rather than a flimsy plastic tool that will flex.
