1/ Cold oil can make things drag. Check it's not overfilled. Slipping into reverse before trying to engage 1st sometimes helps.
2/ I've made an extended column but you need to be confident TIG welding steering components. Knee surgery may be cheaper.
3/ James and Jack at TipTop are great
4/ Not my area
5/ Good luck
6/ All cars benefit from the rolling road treatment but use and play with it first and get to understand the car.
7/ Mudguards mounted on the backplates are a terrible idea for reasons of unsprung weight and durability. I'd look to lower the springs which seem quite high.
8/ It will find a level and if it stays there you have no problem, as long as that level is over the internal core
9/ Check your axle ratio. Changing to a 4 speed will do nothing since top is still 1:1. Swap the front and rear wheels and see if that helps. 5.25 or 5.125 would be the usual ratio for that build of car
