Tom,
I've been "restoring" the 84 for 2 years now and without a doubt, shifting is the weakest part of this car. I grew up on 240Zs with wonderful open gates that you could ham-fist all day long. Now that I am fairly gentle with a lever, I want more than anything for a smooth transition into 2nd. It doesn't grind, just very stiff. I've tried everything from varying wrist/pressure to adjusting and adjusting and adjusting.
No doubt I need a rebuild, but I am still in the denial phase.
Here's something odd. I never worry about 5th into 2nd when downshifting into 4th, which I do often, that concept is completely foreign in my experience with this car.
