C'mon, guys, the MTX-75 isn't shift-by-wire (like BMW's SMG); the shift lever is directly connected to a mechanical device that has to obey the laws of physics. Trying to force a quick shift really bashes the synchros, as you've found. Maybe performing the "throttle hang fix" would help by dropping your revs faster?

Don't take this personally, you two... This post just reminded me of other posts where people gripe about the MTX-75 because the shift lever doesn't work like a light switch. Okay, maybe this gearbox doesn't stand up well to abuse, but to me, anyway, abuse is abuse.
