I would expect it is the oil you are using http://www.gomog.com/allmorgan/seals.htm#LT77 http://www.gomog.com/allmorgan/LT772.pdf The LT77 is quite particular about the oil that is used. Rover used to specify ATF (Ford Dextron 3) to overcome baulking when cold. That is very thin oil. There are those who use Redline MTL or Castrol SMX-S with reported success and much smoother shifting. There is a now synthetic oil specifically designed for this gearbox from a company called Difflock. The product is called Difflock Evolution 1 Fully Synthetic 5 speed Gear Oil - 1 litre. These oils are fully synthetic with friction properties designed especially for gear syncros. They reportedly make gear changes like a knife through butter and synchro engagement is really good. http://www.gomog.com/allmorgan/gearboxes2.html#LT77 JohnV6 2022 CX Plus Four 2025 MG ZS EV aka Trigger
