Once underway, the transmission shifts incredibly smoothly but the throw length seems like first is in the front trunk and second is in the rear seats! And you need to take your time. No, I mean REALLY take your time. As in, do everything at 50% normal speed. This isn't a car for popping off PDK-like shifts.

I installed a Weltmeister short shift kit and replaced the ball cup bushing, was very pleased with the results. 30% reduction in throw is quite comfortable and
it shift into gears solidly instead of feeling like I was stirring the shift lever.
I later had to replace the shift knuckle bushing in the rear tunnel, thought I'd upgrade to the brass bushing but wish I'd stayed with OE rubber one because of vibration transferred to the shifter.[/QUOTE]

Thanks Gerber! Now I know who to PM with crazy questions about the SC!
