I only have about 80 miles on the car with the gate shifter installed. 1st and 2nd now feel like 5th/reverse feels in that the spring-loading feature gives a definite positive feeling pulling the
lever over into first. The 1st/2nd shift is more positive, as you go into 3rd the lever wants to move toward the middle of the shift pattern due to the spring action. It will help missed-shift syndrome, no doubt. It does take some getting used to but I think it's going to be a plus. I do not have the short shift kit installed so I can't comment on how that feels. I may install a factory short shift kit in the future, we'll see how that changes things as well.
