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!

The older 911's all have that same shifting trait, going from gear to gear usually entails a short pause in neutral before going into the next gear, it took me some getting use to. I also replaced the nylon cap bushings along with the semi-circular nylon guides, both helped to tighten things up nicely. Lastly, I welded in a heim joint in place of the rubber OEM isolation joint, that last step made it feel like a bolt action rifle and surprisingly little vibration issues as a result.
If your experience is anything like mine, you'll continue to notice little nuances about the car the longer you have / drive it that will make you appreciate it more and more.......
