Does it hit the plastic trim when you shift? A friends did and we had to customize the trim piece. Check the bolts and make sure none are loose too.

Sounds like synchros then. Short shift kits make it too easy to slam gears, thus putting more stress on the synchros.

the short shifter has taken its toll
