Yup... count me in. It can't be the shift gates. After a week of driving I wondered why the gearbox required more effort than usual to the point it was difficult getting out of gear from park and even shifting in all of the gears. I did the "lurch" test and confirmed it, but it's very minor.

When the car was in the shop with the new clutch and ZSpeed CSC, the master cylinder failed, too!

Also, the juddering issue is getting better. Guess it is still breaking in.

Is it stock, and does it clunk when you get in 1st?
