That sounds about right for the Cobra for that year, my cousin had a white one like that, he finally gave up on it. He had the car in the shop 8 times for that problem with grinding gears. His did it no matter what you did (not bad driving), full clutch, partial clutch, no clutch.... it didn't matter... it always ground... maybe you should go with an automatic, and give it a stronger transmission with less problems... Ask Baumann Engineering, they do it all the time with Cobras...
