Yeah in a perfect world the car should be warmed up etc but you can still feel the throw length and get a pretty good idea of shift effort.

No, you really can't. The gears and syncros have to be spinning or you can't tell anything useful.

No. My B&M shifts like absolute crap when the car is cold, let alone cold and stationary. But drive it around, let the car warm up to operating temperature, and the shifter feels completely different. You'd be hard pressed to tell it's the same shifter.
