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