You are correct, I'm not sure what I was thinking.

The question is does the shifter linkage move as much as the engine/transmission do? Because as you say:

just yanking it in a place where the gear simply isn't located.
Under hard acceleration the shifter moves a tiny bit, and I know the engine is moving more as you can visually see the engine on a dyno moving a fair amount.

And yes technique can solve the issue. No reason not try to upgrade it so you can shift faster and more easily during high performance driving. The engine mounts already made a big change.
