It increases the velocity of the slider over the synchro band and shortens the life of the dog teeth because of the increased force of impact.

Don't do it, you will regret it eventually if not immediately.

Makes shifting much much worse. Unless you spring for the renshift.

spend the $$ on the Rennshift. You will wonder how you shifted without it.

I say Porsche designed great cars

Start with new bushings front to back, make sure it is all "correct"

Then decide if you still want anything.

Mine is stock and GREAT (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
