First, I'm jealous! I wish there was an active hill climb club here.
It's not like we're lacking in mountains!!!
Second, is the tranny BRAND-SPANKIN' NEW? The synchros may need
breaking-in. On my 5-speed, which was an entirely new tranny, I had
troubles getting into all my gears but after some driving it became much
easier. My mechanic said that wasn't uncommon and just besure to change
the tranny oil a couple times.
It's been a good number of years since that time but the tranny is holding
up fine. Talk to your tranny builder and see what they have to say,
juuuust in case.
