Bleed that clutch and you are good to go, I promise you the shifts will be smoother (especially since you say your linkage is working smoother)

I replaced the CDV a few times with the Zeckhausen one, because I didn't want the bother of reshaping the clutch line. It isn't hard to do, but I was ordering brake parts, and so it was easy to use the replacement. The way I did it I have never had to bleed the clutch.
When you say shifts will be smoother, we should qualify that clutch engagement will be smoother, or more predictable, but that doesn't relate to gearshift notchiness, which I think of when hearing the synchro comment that was originally mentioned.
