I'm also not convinced that a short shift kit can't exacerbate a problem,
especially if it's synchro related. The ability to move the transmission
parts faster can cause you to beat the synchros. Have you ever beat synchros
during a shift and heard the resultant crunching noises? It can't be good.
All that aside, I'd put the stock shifter in and give it a try.
