Yes. just remove the detent mechanism (screws in/out), take it to a hardware store, buy several washers w/differing thickness' and attach them until you like the feeling.
IMO YES do it

For a stock shifter I didn't like the feeling AT ALL of the anti-venom mod. Even with a MGW shifter I only had one washer.
That said, there are variances from one transmission to the next, and everyone has a different preference. It's easy enough to try and see if/how you like it.

Yup. It will ease it up looking for 5th and R.
Use both washers for max enjoyment 😂

Definitely worth doing if you don't like how it shifts right now. I did it on my Hurst and it made a big difference, but it's still a notchy piece of crap according to my buddy with his MGW.
I've just never driven with one, and I don't want to pay that much to guess. lol

I did two washers on my '02 vert and it made a big difference. The car had almost 140K miles on it though.
My new to me '02 Z06 has only 30K miles and the sifter is very smooth so I don't think it needs it. I'll see how it feels as the miles add up.
