That's my only quibble with the shift set up, especially after swapping out the OEM knob for a shorter, more heavily weighted one.
No…..I haven’t. But will pay more attention on drive home.

The sick truth is I still prefer the tried and true 6 speed used in the 987s to this MECOSA 7 speed. But it’s fine. It just feels less mechanical. Like more plastic in the linkage or something.

The 991 clutch is great though. For an old man like me, this is a great thing. It makes driving a manual in LA traffic ‘almost’ effortless.
