240sx-ka24de 5-speed shifting feel question
So there is very few 240s in my area and I have never had the pleasure to feel what the shift knob throw feels like on the 5-speed that comes with the ka24de.
I am looking to acquire the parts to do the 5-speed swap and have read the ka being a "truck motor" (says the haters) has a "truck transmission" and therefore has a notchy binding feel between gears on the shift knobs throw. Every truck I have driven has a notchy AF and binding feel to the stick and I HATE it. You are almost unable to drive it hard and quickly slam between gears.
I think alot of the bad rep is from KA haters who are bias so I ask:
Is the 240sx 5-speed notchy and bindy or does it feel smooth enough and race-able in its stock or lightly modded form?
I would almost rather throw in an rb25 or vq35 transmission if they are truck like.
