There is also a big problem you are faced with. I was told today by 2 of my suppliers that the company making the triple cone blocking ring/friction cones is out of business and nobody is currently making them. This ****s me as I have a TT CTS-V in the shop needing 2nd gear blocking ring and friction cone, 1 C5 M12 sitting on the bench that needs the same....

try Amsoil Torque Drive!
My son's C5 was always "notchy" into first and second and then started to grind going into 4th and sixth only...I read a lot of testimonials from people on this forum and gave it a shot.
btw I had already been flushing the clutch as suggested and had checked alignment on the shifter as well as cleaning and loctiting all bolts.
After Amsoil:
-Immediately first and second smoothed out!
-the 4th and sixth gear improved but still grinded some
-after about a week the grinding STOPPED altogether and has worked perfect all summer!!!
worth a shot!

100% On the mark!!
I had a 98 MN6 that did that stock at 60K..
Just changing the ATF fluid (the old stuff came out looked like metal flake paint) made a significant improvements in ALL GEARS. Give it a try.
Hell, a fluid change is a W H O L E L O T less expensive than a Trans rebuils and clutch change; even if it doesnt correct the issue.
