Classic symptoms for the shifter, difficult initial engagement of any gear but once in can go in and out effortlessly.
However the clutch seems to act fine. Engagement point is a little higher than 50% of pedal throw, doesn't creep. Doesn't lose pressure.
Still not sure... the Bens shifter just arrived and I'll throw it in this coming weekend. It could be the ebay short shifter design. Will check back in then.
I’m not a huge fan of my engagement either. I think the dual mass flywheel may be shot. With clutch out there is some chatter, but clutch in it goes away. Plus the sometimes mushy feel on engagement. I’ll be changing everything soon enough…just trying to muster the time and energy 😅
