Hi Tuners, still in the process of going through this Talon and trying to get things in order. I got my ECMLink installed and got it running (like sh**, but running nonetheless) enough to drive it. I got it out on the road and when I shifted 2/3 it grinded going in to 3rd. Sometimes it'll grind a little shifting 3/4. It isn't like a grind that makes it tough to put it into the gear, it goes right in just makes an ugly grind doing so. Now, the clutch to me has always felt weak, just while I push it in to start it. Also, when I first start it up for the day, it seems reluctant to go into 1st or R and after driving for a few minutes, the pedal gets a good couple inches of slack at the top of the pedal. I really don't want to believe this is a syncro issue, but I know that's a possibility. However, what else should I be checking/eliminating before assuming it's the trans?
What I've done already (will update as I dive deeper into the issue):
From the drag test, it seems to me that the clutch isn't the issue. I did pull the center console off and revealed some sketchy work on the shifter cable closest to the driver seat. Here's a pic of that:
Any info is greatly appreciated guys!

- Bled the clutch twice
- Clutch drag test (see video)
