If there is a way to get rid of the rubbery feel to the shifter, reduce the throw while utilizing the stock shifter boot and handle, I'd be game for sure. Suggestions?

ummm ok. i guess i don't have any car experience.
everyone i know with a short shift kit misses 2nd on a daily basis. the only reason it feels loose or rubbery is because it's been bagged out for 150k miles. just my opinion.

. Touche! But short shift kits for these cars are still a waste of a mod in my opinion.

Even with a short shift kit on my C5 it is still like shifting a damn semi-truck compared to the sweet snick-snick of the Porsche. Stock was even worse, it was vague to the point of being dangerous. Way too easy to pick the wrong gear when really shifting with that stock lever. Luckily 2nd gear winds out to ~80mph so the one time I was going 6 > 4 but grabbed 2nd accidently on the highway all that happened was I chirped the tires and got the rear end a little loose.

Nothing to do with them.... I just couldn't figure out how to actually purchase from the site.
I don't have any time to wait. I need to get a linkage in pretty quickly. So I'm looking elsewhere for now.

Why not ?
That sifter is made by my friends company. A real nice sifter, which we are going to use with my son's project 951.
My friends company will introduce shortly a linkage which might suit your needs nicely. I have seen a prototype; and it was real good.
If you are looking for more track oriented sifter; i recommend this Shark manufactured item. Drove once a 968 CS with this sifter, and it felt real "pro"
