Paul Cangialosi is as good as you'll find.
I am assuming you have a Hurst Competition Plus shifter.
Unless you beat the crap out of it, what may be the culprit
are the shifter rod bushings. Hurst made them out of nylon
(and later powdered metal). The nylon bushings tend to distort
and "smear" over time causing poor shift quality.
Paul makes a set out of tool steel that are dimensionally identical.
These will eliminate shift rod misalignment due to worn bushings.
If your shifter is indeed at end-of-life, Paul will include a set of tool
steel bushings with the returned rebuilt unit.
