Steve,
<<Ford/Mustang box with a Chevy S-10 pickup tail housing. The shifting,
since day one (it was a used/rebuilt trans) has been very notchy, and seems
tohave gotten a bit worse.>>
Here are a few thoughts.
You should be using ATF in the T-5.
I would a say that your shifting problem could be caused by a binding of the
ball detent in the "offset lever".
It could also be a binding of the shift rail caused by a misalignment of the
top cover or a bent rail. These parts become nonstandard when mating the
Chevy S-10 to the Mustang box so a lot of things could happen. Their correct
operation relies on the your builders ability to modify them to make them
work.
Perhaps your builder didn't use the right bolts on the cover which would
allow the cover to shift and bind the shift rail.
