Default How should it feel when shifting?

Okay I have a question, and to be honest its only because im new to short throw shifters and performance cars. (I used to have a trail jeep as a dd) Anyways here it goes, I have a 95 Camaro M6. With a hurst short throw, and I just got the clutch replaced 300 miles ago. My question is whether or not I should feel *everything* when I shift into gear. Like when I shift into gear its almost like I can feel everything engaging, and its not a smooth pull or push into gear, I have to put a TINY bit of force into it. Its always been like this, even with my old clutch(spec stage 2), also when I engage the clutch and shift and then let off the clutch it sometimes makes a slight pop noise. And this is the only car i've driven with a short throw besides a 2011 wrx and that was completely different in all aspects.

The M6 is a bit notchy. So are most exotic car transmissions. It just means all of the internal parts are bigger than what you might have been familiar with in the past.
