I remember your review of the clutch when you first got it on track; something I'd be interested in.The transmission isn't so much to blame as the two pieces external of it are. The shifting is because our shifters are remote and dangling far behind it, and the transmission moves here and there, as does your shifter. The first time out with the MGW, I broke my 3-4 shift fork, not that it's MGW's fault, but rather I had gotten used to dealing with the slop. The MGW is very much firmer and almost feels as if you're directly in the transmission.
The high speed lockout is likely the fault of the clutch, which if you're stock, it sucks and it's heavy. The likely cause of the high rpm lockout is that it's spinning so hard and fast that the pressure plate is just not strong enough to push with all the centripetal force with it swinging around so fast. It "magically" going away 1-2k rpm lower suggests that to me, anyhow. I fixed that by going with a Mantic clutch/flywheel (thanks Geoff!), which also shed 30# from the rotating mass, as the dual mass flywheel becomes a really nice lightened billet flywheel. Combination of being 30# lighter, it will accelerate faster, and noticeable grip difference too, wish I had more time on it, but it won't slip, something I did for most of the 2021 season. Definitely worth a call if it bothers you that much, I can't believe I had waited so long to do so.
Though, I'll just change mine out when the time comes for a new clutch.
