Gear shifting - issue remains after plate adjustment

It's difficult to asses online because gearbox feel is very subjective. You could have two identical gearboxes but two very different accounts on how they feel. Perfectly fine from one person, and terrible from another.
Add that to the fact that they DO vary on an Emira (I've driven 3 cars and they all felt different), then you have almost unlimited subjective feedbacks. I assume they vary because they are hand assembled and adjusted in the factory, I think the design (mounts/inserts?) have been adjusted during the life of the car which further complicates matters.

So how does the end user deal with this? I suppose either accept yours however it comes. Or try and get it adjusted to your preference. FWIW I've been told the Emira gearbox is much better than on the Evora.

Personally I'm quite happy with mine. I just need to never rush it. I only have issues when I rush the gear changes. I actually like the 'overly' mechanical feel compared to a slick Honda/Mazda feel that others prefer.
 
Interesting thread...I just bought a new 25 and traded my FL5 civic type r with acuity shifter modifications. Coming from s2000 and currently also own a NSX. And my 25 build date is April 2025 as a context if that matters. But my car has shifted good from the test drive on. Only weird quirk is going from 5-6 for me where cross throw is slightly longer than 2-3 distance. 1-2 is super smooth. Not quite FL5 or s2k level but it's really pretty good. Wonder if my 25 build was late enough that I got the updated engine mounts?
 
Just an update, that mine is now changing smooth as silk since the run in, I've only done 1400miles and now is perfect
