that is 2nd gear synchro, not liking that more slippery purple oil and the synchro cup ring will be worn this old, best lube is STANDARD for best old sychro action.
the cup has ridges, to the cone, if its worn a tad, and too slippery, the syncro will be sluggish ,forcing to to shift slower. if you go fast, it grinds,.
the guides only allow the gear to be fully engaged, the rails have detents you can feel them if you can not get fully into a detent, the part 27 is shot, plastic tip.
the shifter, plastic bad, might cause grinding if the gear is 1/2 engages. in fact if that happens it will jump of gear.
id not put super slippery GL4 gear lube in any old gear box. its perfect for bearings but not the synchro's, those need a sticky oil. ( my new jeep has it in the 6speed but is new)
im my experience the first synchro ring to fail is aways 2nd. it gets more action, 1 to 2nd and 3rd to 2nd, driving in town as most are.
it gets a real workout.
