This is a typical problem on the MTX-75 cable shift trans. Its not a timing issue. Add some Ford friction modifier to the trans which will help smoothen the shifts. Part number is XL-7. It comes in a 2 oz bottle. Only use half the bottle when applied. Only pour through the level plug only. If you really interested you can upgrade to the revised post 2000 syncros and shifter forks.
