    Did you do this for the part in the shifting box or did you do this on the transmission its self.

    you could try doing something similar to the linkage on the tranny or even eliminate the stock shift cables because they are rubber insulated.

    i can take a look at it when i do a clutch in the spring but i dont sense any issues on the transmission side currently at about 65k mi.

    any further upgrades for me would require making a new shift box or significant disassembly of the drivetrain.

    I have upgraded nearly all of my motor mounts and that in its self changed shifter feel for the positive. i highly recommend them if you dont mind the extra NVH.
