Notchy Shifter...Normal?

The shifter in my car feels very notchy (you can feel it go through each gate). I know that this is normal for the Tremec T56 that is in Camaros, Vettes, Vipers etc. Is it also normal for the 240's gearbox? Is there anything I can do to make it smoother?

Nah, my clutch got replaced 10K ago along with the rear main seal, so that shouldn't be the problem.

some advice

I recently installed a short shifter that made my shifting very notchy, but not necessarily a "bad" notchy....I dunno if that makes sense, but what I am saying is if you bought the car with a short shifter already installed, this could be why. if not, then maybe your stock shifter is just really tight. just my $0.02

Yeah it is notchy even when the car is off, so it isn't internal. It must just be the way it is.
