Over the past two days I have really been trying to find a pattern to the crunch. What I have noticed is that at cold start it is completely absent and all shifts are butter smooth. When the system warms up though the crunch occurs and shifting in general seems to be rougher (except for double clutching, which is butter smooth regardless of gear and temp).

My hope is that this is fluid related. If the crunch isn't there at cold start the synchro may still be ok. It may be a long shot be we will see. I ordered fluid today and will use this as an excuse to install my transmission cooler setup over the next week or so. I'll keep everyone updated once she's back up and running.
