In my experience, this notchiness is not confined to a model year but to an individual car. I have had 02s that shift smooth as butter and some that are notchy, so I have to concur it is the car, not the model run.

Have you had the dealer look at it? The clutch cable and shifter linkage in these cars are quite sensative to things like adjustment and lube.

In my experience, a short shifter kit might help or hurt. In my BMW, it was a wonderful change, more effort at first but then easing up quite a bit.

The short shift in a Box would be appreciated I think. I drove one that has the SSK and it was GREAT!
