A couple of suggestions if you'd like a sportier manual transmission (from my experience with other cars):
1) new shifter bushings
2) short throw shifter
3) swap out the gearset to something taller (4.10s)

My 6MT mods...
- Most important, GM synchromesh fluid... Look it up
- Comptech short shifter
- Skunk2 weighted shift knob
- CorSport shifter bushings
- Clutch slave mod
- Fresh Dot 3 clutch fluid
- Braided stainless clutch line
Tying it together, Innovative Motor mounts.
Shifting could be described as "snappy". snick snick. I couldn't be happier... hope my clutch lasts

hah forgot about that. Yeah, biggest improvement by far is Syncromesh, sucks its $17.xx per bottle and you need 2.6 quarts. Personally I wouldn't go with a short shifter, if you do everything else though you will be at around 100 bucks for everything. I myself run an S2000 CR shift knob. $40 brand new on egay.

^ Someone else posted this site for buying GM synchromesh for a lot cheaper. Buy 3 and it comes to about $11.50 per quart. Or by 5 and be good to go for 2 changes like I did and it's only $10.40 per quart.

Fwiw, I love my trans. I did all the mods avail. except the short shifter and I can feel the shift fork actually sliding the collar onto the different dog teeth and engaging different gears through the lever..its amazing for a fwd w/ cables.

Good stuff! I didn't know anything about those shifter bushings. They are now officially on the to do list.
To me, I wouldn't change the final drive ratio even if it was possible. I would change 4th gear to make it shorter. 4-6 are too tall.
