You may (or may not) recall that i had great difficulty shifting, especially when cold, and was having shift cables replaced (diagnosed as failing). Surprising culprit in my opinion.
There was also good input about other factors - which gear oil ( trade off of wear properties vs ideal shift friction properties).
Another input was to watch for the small linkage on the gearbox itself.
Anyway, both of those turned out to be fine. I had the numeric racing cables installed, more $$, but really not much more on a % basis --- And WOW!, what a difference - from high friction and sometimes mushy engagement - almost like pushing into foam, it is now crisp and metallic and light and precise - even cold. At least it is after very little driving (hence cold).
I wont have much more chance to drive it until i return from Germany and head more or less directly to the track, so more in a week +.
But a) cables and their associated hardware make a difference and do wear, and b) numeric seem to be better, although i'm told noisier. I didnt notice the noise, but it is a track car.
