Robert,

I might have suggested that over rated 250 gear lube might be the problem, but in 'warm' Texas ??

My '28 with it's multi-disc clutch is not forgiving about missing shift points unlike a single disc clutch which can be 'wound out'. Could be my car but is my experience.

At my favorite Sunday breakfast spot where old guys meet. They leave together as the oldest needs an entire red light cycle walk across two lanes. When he gets to his car he has to stoop over to open the door ,hang on the roof to get a leg in, pulls the rest of his body in tugging on the steering wheel. He has to lean back out to pull the door closed and finally fires it up...and roars down the street winding out three gears ! His 'senior car' is a orange 'whale tail' 911 Porsche !

You two guys are my hero's .
