Just so I have this straight, when you talk about "smooth" shifting, are you refering to the shifter sliding into the gates or the transition from one gear to the next (speed matching revs)?
I have never had a problem with the gates, although my girlfriend who has driven many more manuals than I says that the throws are long. They seem fine to me.
On the other hand, there are some shifts (especially going from 3rd to 4th) where I experience a little jump because the revs don't fall fast enough. I always thought that since this is my first manual transmission car that it was my shifting style (self taught at 42, but what a car to learn on!).
