1. I'm not sure why the shifts feel less notchy. Maybe because of the new lubrication? I didn't think it would change the notchy feel between shifts but it did on my car.

2. TWM says its a 33% reduction in shift throw. I just know it's noticeable. I didn't measure the stock throw but I can measure the throw now and you can compare to your own stock measurements. It won't be ideal, but will be close.

3. There shouldn't be any change/problems with the tranny. The new short shifter bolts up the the factory linkage under the car just like the factory shifter.

Glad you liked the write-up.
