Just getting back on the road with my TR after rear pinion seal RR - shifting from 1 to 2 is sometimes difficult and from 2 to 3 grinds a bit - new clutch - throw out, Pressure plate, disc, with correctly mounted slave - so engagement is not an issue and I had the flywheel resurfaced and replaced center bearing. Down shifting same difficulty to 2 from 3 with need to double clutch to get it to drop in - I am guessing the syncros are worn on 3rd - but the upshift to 2 is confusing. Oil in tranny is TRF 80-90 wt gl3. would like comments on others experiences. Thinking that a rebuild is necessary or a swap to a 5 speed box.

As many others have learned, replacing components is no guarantee that you don't have clutch drag. The acid test is (with the car stopped but engine running) to depress the clutch then hold it down while you first shift into a forward gear, then into neutral, wait a few seconds, and try to shift into reverse. If it grinds even a little bit, your clutch or pilot bearing is dragging.
My experience has been that 2nd gear wears out first, so it wouldn't be surprising if both synchro rings are tired.
