Default Shifting is smoother after TB job? Whaaaaa???
Just got some work done...timing belt, water pump, haldex serviced and brake fluid changed. I'm thinking that most of these things would not affect how smooth the car shifts. But the shifting is smoother! This make any sense to anyone?

Default no - you just haven't driven the car for a few days and forgot how good it was! BUT
I know what you're saying - I've experienced similar with the shifter from time to time....

Default The steering felt tight too...but now it feels normal. Shifting still feels smoother.
And the loaner I had was an automatic so it's not like I was driving another standard. Very mysterious!
