Solid shifter?

[Jeremy Salda <roccoguy@mac.com>]

seeing danny's shift rod question, got me to thinking. one of the guys 
in the local club was talking about building a solid shift rod, i'm 
assuming getting rid of a few of the bushings in the linkage to give the 
shifter a more direct, albeit less forgiving, feel. anybody know what he 
is talking about? has anybody done it?

also, along the same lines, i heard about a guy taking the sychros out 
of the tranny in his civic. this would reduce the weight and rotating 
mass in the tranny, right? basically turn it into a true racing tranny. 
of course you would have to double-clutch and heel-and-toe ALWAYS. 
again, anybody have any thoughts/experience?
