Hi Mart very notchy and gets worse when giving it some
That's funny I haven't noticed it with my car. Seems a very smooth gearbox

Have you checked your engine / gearbox mounts ?

Gear selection issues when driving hard usually means too much engine/box movement, making the gear cables stretch and thus poor gear selection.

The poly inserts can work wonders.

I have created my own quick shift on my vx220 M32, simply milled a flat spot and moved the ball joint nearer the pivot point

Got a link to the poly inserts?
these are the J vxr inserts, not sure if they will be the same across the J range
