My experience with gearbox rebuilds is (very) limited to the TR3/TR6 units;
but those parts look OK to me.  Given that you are having problems, I might
roughen up the cone surface just a bit (break the glaze).

You didn't mention checking the detent force in the shift hub.  Very
important (it is what applies force to the synchro rings during the shift)
and almost always too low.
