@another S in S:
I really respect your opinion and I'm open for discussion. But I'd like you just to be more specific about the problems. If gear ratio's are wrong you would be able come up with specifics like:
-> shift from redline in gear x to below 5k rpm (variocam turningpoint) in gear x+1
-> shift from gear x to x+1 drops to many rpm's
-> 6th gear is not usable. Top speed is reached in 5th (true for driving topless. Topless it's about 250 redline in 5th, upshift to 6th keeps it there but doesn't pull further. Top up and it goes over 270...)
-> 1st gear is too long and you have to use the clutch too much when pulling away fast
-> feel is bad, long (commented already on that), not precise which makes mis-shifts a regular thing, synchro's are bad/slow when down-shifting, etc.
IMHO I don't have these kind of problems, so I just can't imagine any generic problems with the six-speed. I would like the throws to be shorter, yes, and I would like the box to be a bit more smooth when cold, yes.
Boy, am I motivated to try a 5-speed next at dealer ;-)
Mark.
