Do you have an experienced / trust worthy Porsche specialist near you? I would have them investigate what you are feeling?

Investigate the cost vs benefit of the second gear detent; CMS shift arrester and synchro service against the recommendations of specialists/opinions

I put in a model 2nd gear detent to stave off problems sometime ago. Feel wise it gives a longer engagement path for rear gate positions, preventing "pop out". IIRC It did not smooth out the shift action and I don't believe it would help worn synchros.
I've never heard any noise coming from the transmission, bit my car is quite loud and I'm not sure I would hear it if it were subtle.

The closest p-car indys are 3 hrs away. I used to live right down the street from Pat Williams, boy do I miss those days lol.

That is my understanding of the 2md gear detent mod as well, that it helps prevent popping out of gear. I've never had that problem, but I had read a few posts that said that it fixed the crunch sensation while shifting.
