Dave,
  Tossing ideas at this question:
     These are not the fastest-shifting gearboxes ever made.  Are you
shifting in two deliberate moves - click pause click?
     How is oil level?  Engine oil,  not 90W?
     Is clutch separating enough--check the movement on clutch slave
cylinder.  They are difficult to bleed. 
Bob
