After putting about 500 miles on this thing I noticed the transmision is starting to have trouble getting into third gear on up shift and third and second on down shift. I pulled the trans to check the pilot bearing. It is free and has no signs of locking up. Once you come to a stop and shift it the first time it shifts fine. You can force it into gear, but it seems like the syncros are having trouble matching the speed. If you rev the motor it will some times go in. It was working fine when we first started driving it and I can't see any reason why it should start having problems now.

Also 5th gear was having problems getting in all the way the first try, but would go in. Now it seems like it gust won't go in far enough to do any good, it just keeps grinding and jumping out.

Any Ideas?
