After all the gear problems today, I tried giving Kato-san at D-Technique a call to see what he thought the problem could be. He thought it sounded a lot like the wrong gear oil. As he was at the shop he asked if I wanted to drop in and change oil. Now that's service - D-Technique is closed on Tuesdays after all. Normally, I would have just dropped in the weekend but since I am back on the track on the 18th that wasn't possible. So thanks for the offer Kato-san!!!
New oil: Motul Gear Competition MT Oil 75W-140
Old oil: Speed Master Pro Super Gear Oil 75W-90
Hmmm. spot the difference? I didn't recall the temp ratings on the oil I had put in it last at Super Autobacs when I had it done recently but sure enough it had a lower temp rating then Kato-sans recommended oil. I expect this will solve the problem. Gear changes were just fine all the way home. He said they might be tough first thing on a cold morning.
I hope this holds up now. Thanks again Kato-san!
