Dream car as my first MT?

Here is a photo of TR6060 and MT82 (GT500 and 5.0, respectively).



The Z has sort of a hybrid linkage. The good thing about it is that it's directly connected to the transmission, so the engine torquing won't have an effect on the linkage.

On the MT82, the shifter is mounted to the body. With the stock vibration dampening (i.e. soft, compliant) bushings, engine torque can shift the linkage juuuust enough to make the shift action inconsistent under heavy load. The MT82 would have been a great transmission if they left well enough alone and mounted the shifter to the case instead of the car.

And below you will see... perfection! The Aisin unit in the S2000.
