Default TKO 600 Shifting-Had Enough Finally

After 10 years of really poor shifting on a TKO 600 behind a SBF (2nd to 3rd hangs in the gate), I have had it.

So, after reading all the issues and fixes over the years, now I'm finally interested. About time I guess. My particular unit is absolutely terrible between 2nd and 3rd at speed (it's OK enough cruising). I have aligned the bell housing, checked runout, input shaft length and all the rest. Had the thing out of the car numerous times along the years and it's all OK on the outside. Years ago I installed a Tri-Ax shifter, which did improve almost everything else....except the second to third shift. So, what remains the best solution? Liberty Gears or........ And before it starts, yes I do have considerable experience with a lot of different trans types and shifting, probably too much and mostly on the road race tracks around the world as a professional. In fact, my unit could not be raced even at an amateur level taking it easy on a track day, just not possible to count on that one shift at all. Really appreciate any input, especially if you have had one corrected and by whom. Thanks!
