Smooth shifting

If you’re not doing so already, try lightly preloading the shift lever before disengaging the clutch. Then, when you’re ready to shift, disengage the clutch while continuing to preload the shifter and you might find the gears changing more smoothly.

(+1) for the LongRanger. I'll give it a try, thanks!

Yeah, I would say it has by far the biggest impact on improved smoothness.

A secondary change for myself was the oil:

Hard to describe, but smoother than a blunt hot knife sliding down a brick of fresh, farm dairy butter.
