Default update on my transmission

so I put the stock shifter back in the car( 03 Z06) and re adjusted the shifter assembly took it for a drive, yep still grinding going into 4th gear, and if you up shift it will grind into 3rd..only two gears that it does that in.
after some reading I am thinking it's a bent shift fork or the blocker rings..either way I am going to have to pull the transmission and have it looked at ...and Bill Curlee thanks a ton for the advise you have given me thus far it's greatly appreciated!!

so my task this weekend is I suppose is to pull the tranny out of the car..any tips from other's who have done this ?

Thanks Ryan.

While its apart if you haven't already, you may want to look at the couplers on the drive shaft.
