Exactly what I'm getting at in post 4, with the added caveat that TKO's are known for this problem and the root cause (clutch aside) is the larger heavier gears have Muncie sized syncro's on them that are in reality a bit too small to effectively slow the gears down quick enough when you get aggressive with the gear stick.
You can adjust the clutch with enough free play and disengagement and still have the gears nip each other when aggressively shifting. That's why these transmissions really need the syncro upgrade when buying them if you plan any aggressive driving.
