I then sat in my 92 Miata turbo with a short shifter, the difference there was the shifter returned to near center on angle after each shift, maybe sloppy but in location, so the movement was about 40 mm between each shifts, really short, grab it and ram it into gear even with a glove on.
This is why a lot of us are so happy with the BMW Performance SSK. The throws are also 50mm's from 1st to 2nd and it really tightens up the shifter linkage. I think its one of the best mods I have done.
