sounds like there was clutch drag with the factory clutchThe car had a bit of vibration in the drivetrain from the get go, transmission would thud with gear changes at low speed, shifter was very notchy.....1st fix was adding the CF DS, which helped considerably with the vibration and thud , didn't eliminate it completely. Car also had driver rear wheel bearing replaced.
first or reverse shouldn't involve synchros. Maybe the MGW is affected by the cold ? Did you have first / reverse issues before the shifter ?Shifting was way better with the MGW, but then I started to notice that for the first few miles of driving the car after startup, it was extremely difficult to get the car into first or reverse. After a few mintues of driving the problem would go away.
We went ahead and swapped the trans and diff fluid out with BG synchro and that quieted the drivetrain down some more and made shifts while car was warm like butter. However, the problem with the 1st reverse lockout when cold still remained.
