The problem is that you are expecting your transmission to act like a M22 "Rock-crusher" transmission. It is not that nor was it ever designed to be. It's a 40's design with added first gear syncro's. The best thing to do is use modern synthetic oil like Redline MTL and treat it with a bit of respect. Learn to double declutch and remember that everyone that you are competing against is using the same technology so it is an even playing field. If that does not suit your fancy then get a Tr7/8 with a 5 speed or modify your car with Herman's conversion set up.
