If its grinding going into gear and popping out its most likely a bad synchro.

Ford should take care of it. If its not to much trouble I would put your stock shifter back in so they don't try to BS you or give you the run around. How you like the short shifter?

Offtopic: Sorry I haven't been able to keep in contact with you bro, I've been working a ton of hours and some long ones at that. Hopefully I don't have to work this weekend, If I don't we can prob meet up, but Ill keep you informed if Ill be free.

You will kill yourself at 18 with a cobra if a V6 is all you have driven
