I've switched back and forth several times ... there might be some
difference, but I've never noticed it particularly. But I do notice that
1st gear isn't nearly as far forward on the 4-synchro box as on the
3-synchro.
Taller, too.
Don't have the info handy, but ISTR the factory upped the specification for
force to move the shift rails at some point. I guess they had trouble with
them jumping out of gear or something. That might explain the notchiness.
