I am not a transmission expert. But I distinctly recall threads from the past (search in C5 Tech) in which people who do know the C5 TREMEC advised against this.
The detent is necessary for the transmission performance (regardless of the shifter). Without it, shifting will be overly sloppy. Shimming it slightly is one thing, removing it entirely will probably prematurely wear out components in the transmission.
