3rd and 4th gear

If I drop the car to 3rd on the highway, I'm getting some strange vibrations through the shifter. Same with 4th gear. Think my syncros are shot or bent shift fork? I have a real hard time shifting at high RPM to 4th from 3rd.

I have an adjustable McLeod master, drilled line between the slave and master, and a ClutchMasters FX300 clutch in it, brand new fluid, rebuilt master last fall and bench bled it.

If you don't have an iron 3/4 shift fork, you prolly need one.

And 4th is shot, it will not shift into 4th at high RPM. Time for a rebuild?

Tranny is being rebuilt by SixSpeedsInc. 2nd and 4th gear need replaced; of course the level one upgrade is going in. Turns out time for a new clutch as well, the surface is down to .269 vs. 308 new.
