I'm with John on this one. Apply basic logic, Do you really think Porsche would sell a luxury sports car with a transmission like yours seems to be working? There are plenty of shops that profess to be aircooled pros, but from the discussions on this board alone, a good percentage aren't exactly what they profess. These transmissions are never going to be a japanese slush box, and for that I am glad.
That being said, you cant just throw parts at them and think its gonna be more *****en, by some percentage with every part added.
My car is also a 1984 Carerra, and the trans shifts with very Teutonic precision, no grinding in any gear unless I do something stupid like not release the clutch all the way. I have a extended shifter, short shift kit, Stomski shift coupler, new bushings, Rebel Racing trans and engine mounts. I couldn't think of anything I would change, except for a Wevo shifter setup.
I will also say with a rigidized shift linkage, a couple mm in coupler position or one spline left or right equals a huge change in shifting to include grinding and working poorly.
