Default MGW Shifter

I bought the MGW shifter for my mustang about two months ago and when I installed it, it didn't feel like it needed breaking in like everyone says it needs for a while, it felt perfect... Well recently, it's been hard to get into any gear. When I am shifting regularly, it stops inbetween every gear. When I'm slamming through gears fast, it just kind of hesitates to go in but it is not as smooth as when I first got it. Is this normal? Does anyone else's MGW shifter catch inbetween gears? When I bought it, I just thought nobody EVER grinded a gear with it, but I have several times because of this hesitation...

Sounds like you need to adjust the clutch, do you have an adjustable cable and a firewall adjustment piece as well. My car does the same thing when the clutch does not release in just the right spot.
