Odd shifter problem, need advice

I think these were all asked and answered up-thread, but since you asked ...

What are you running for trans lube?

Are you lining up the shifter with a drill bit on the underside opposite the shift handle?

It's not a matter of speed shifting. With the current adjustment it grinds only going into first when rolling.

I haven't tried any of the suggestions yet because I'm undergoing a medical thing. I was hoping someone would just say make the shift rod a turn longer (or shorter) but apparently it's not that simple.
