I have only had it for a few days and haven't driven it as hard as I normally do till I get used to it. That said, I haven't crunched gears at all yet (only found it hard to get into 2nd and sometimes 3rd......but now its ok that I figured out I have to shift slightly differently)

Thing is, there is much more chance of getting the wrong gear now, and that fact that it requires more force makes things a bit more riskier!

As for the synchros comment, I think this all depends on how you shift......as long as you don't use excessive force (I just just enough force to get it in gear) it is all good.

how far away do they sit from the normal gear position?

Put it this way.......when I'm in neutral now, it feels like when I used to be in 3rd. But this is also due to the fact that the shifter sits lower than before.
