Check for smooth operation to each position. Especially, shift to 5th ←→ 6th and to reverse, and check for any stuck.
Check the slider returns to the original position by shifting to the reverse and then back in neutral while pulling up the slider.
If the shifting operation is not smooth, readjust the exposed length (a) of MT gear select cable by referring to the following figure.
