I've seen several notes from the factory where they increased the detent
force, IIRC it was to prevent jumping out of gear.  Likely that only applies
to some gearboxes; but my point is that they did put some research into how
much is needed.

And the gearchange is already notchy enough (IMO), while any increase in
detent force will make it worse.  Less of an issue on a Stag with that long
shift lever, but still seems somewhat incongruous with the semi-luxury
aspect of the car to me.  Especially if you've driven a Miata recently <G>
