I have it on good authority that the "grind problem" was fixed within the '00 MY. However, that does not mean that some '01s will not experience a similar problem, just not the EXACT problem.
The throw on this shifter is quite short as mentioned before, and the clutch must absolutely be to the carpet. This is a design flaw in my opinion, it leaves little if any room for error.

please define "good authority" in this case, and carefully read some of the posts above. i know i'm starting to:
a - doubt it WAS fixed, and
b - get rather irritated that folks assume that it has to be driver error FIRST rather than trusting that maybe, just maybe, we DO know how to drive and DO know the difference between screwing up a shift and something unexpected and unexplained.
if your "good authority" is believable (and preferably can be contacted, quoted or the like) than i'll have less distrust of the idea.
However...
it strikes me that this is a classic application of Occam's Razor. here is the data:
a - a car has a mechanical problem (acknowledged by the manufacturer).
b - the same model of car (but of a different year) exhibits identical symptoms to the symptoms that indicated the mechanical problem above.
there are three possible explanations:
a - the second car has a different problem that coincidentally exhibits the exact same symptoms as the first car.
b - the data is faulty and there is no actual problem with the second car.
c - the second car has the same problem as the first car.
the most simple, direct and logical explanation is A.

Maybe there is a BioFeedback sensor in the shifter knob, and when you are trying to show off, it grinds . . .
That's what happens to me, smooth shifting all day, then when you need it, GGGRRRRRRRRRRRR
maybe its not just a stacking tolerance? but also a design flaw? it is the only *Triple* cone syncro in there.
Mines a '00, sorry for butt'n' in to the '01 stuff
