I'm still saying it's a clutch adjustment. I've had two different T-56's in two different cars. First one was a stock 04 clutch with MGW shifter. I ran coastal brand ATF in it and didn't have issues.
My current trans started with the same coastal brand ATF, but currently has Synchromesh for other reasons. It has a McLeod RXT for a clutch. When I originally had the Maximum Motorsports pedal height adjuster I had shifting issues. The pedal didn't have enough throw to fully release the clutch. I've since swapped to a Steeda adjustable pedal stop and all is well with the clutch. I'm not saying I'm a pro at power shifting, but I have no issues hitting gears under WOT.
Both cars had/have aftermarket quadrants and firewall adjusters. They're pretty much a requirement with some aftermarket clutches. FWIW, brand doesn't really matter. It's a chunk of aluminum. I've run MM, Steeda, and UPR. They all work the same. The biggest thing is making sure the quadrant stays aligned to the cable with spacers.
For the firewall adjuster try to find one that has the click adjustment. Set screws suck. And the jam nut style can be a pain.
And stay away from adjustable cables. Stick with stock style cables.
