My new Eagle may have a serious tranny problem

Good news! Found a set of shifter cables and shifter base from a 92 awd turbo ( shouldnt be a problem if i have an ESI?), for 60$.

My friend says if the cables/shifter would be the problem the gears would still go in but would just need more or less long of a path to get there ( depending if the cables are too short or too long ). He says they wouldn't grind at high rpm's for that.

Sometimes my gears wont go in fully ( feels like something is stopping them, when it happens i go to neutral, clutch again and it goes in with a bit more ease ). My 1st gear tends to do this when i'm stopped at a slight uphill, but double-clutching usually helps.

The worst is getting from first to second. I shift to 2nd at +/- 2500rpm because above that almost insures a horrible grinding sound. Even at low rpm's there is a chance of grind, but it is greatly reduced if i put her into 2nd very slowly ( which pisses people off behind me anytime i take a full stop ).
