I've driven two '86s, an early model '85, '84, and a '83. My '86 has a gearbox from a '89, and the previous owner has not been the friendliest to it I can tell. My brother's '86 has a smart feel to it, not effortless, but has a good sharp feel. The '83, I was fourteen, I don't know... My early model '85 was in excess of 210K miles on its original gearbox, it felt a bit sloppy and a little snicky. The '84, is smooth, great action, doesn't feel like an old car at all, it doesn't top a Boxster (best shifter feel I've driven), but has a great feel. Not clunky or whatever at all.
I've also driven the Porsche five speed found in a 924 Turbo. (based off a G31 if memory serves me right, realy weak Synchro in 1st and 2nd.)
