Sports shifter still feels notchy
I like the sports shifter but even after 2500 miles still feels like shifting through notches. I miss the previous smooth shifting. I just wonder if that is something you always will give up for the short throw.

Not surprising that it is still stiff
I have the OEM Short Shifter. It is still a bit stiff when cold, but loosens up when warm. At 2400 it was very stiff and notchy. I now have more than 8300 miles on my 997 (7400 since I bought it in April) with at least a thousand on the track. It has loosened up considerably. But still when it is cold, going into 1st while the car is rolling. I COULD shove it home, but I just double clutch when going into 1st with forward motion. The shift is then silky smooth and I am sure the synchros appreciate it.
I like the tight feel of the short shifter and anything else feels loose and sloppy. But fair is fair.. You do need to warm it up.
I would expect that when the car has been standing in sub zero temperatures this coming winter, it will be very stiff when cold.
Hope that helps.

I went with B&M and it has been great. If you don't go with OEM I would recommend them. Quality product and no notchiness when shifting.

Sport Shifter
I bought my car over a year ago with approx 550 miles on it. The shifter was very notchy. Hard to get into first unless I was stopped. (I really think this may be why the previous owner sold it). Once it got to 8-9,000 miles it felt great and still does at 12K.
What changed probably the cable stretched a little bit. Which gets back to a previous posters comment get the dealer to adjust it and save the time aggravation.
