After driving around with the optimized "contraption" for a bit over a week now (with a couple road trips), I've got to say the increased satisfaction of shifts is still there, just like I just did the job yesterday! The wife also immediately noticed and commented on it after her first drive after I did the work - so I highly recommend other manual-transmission boxster owners who want joyful driving have this "contraption slop" tested, and consider eliminating it.
