Actually I HATED the notchy shifter in the Miata 5 speed.
although I never drove the 6 speed version in the SE.
During winter that damn shifter was a choppy as an old Flintsone's car.
Changing the redline fluid improved the flow of the shifter but that never
lasted long.
There were countless pages and pages of threads devoted
to the notchy Miata shifter and different experiments with different grades
of Redline fluid and changing the turret oil and boot. Many people were unsatifsfied with the tugging that was required before the gear box got up to temp. But hey what do you expect for small money.

I vastly prefer my Boxster shifter.
It has a more....organic.....feel.
(although the higher gears don't seem so smooth sometimes)
