One interesting thing that was brought out earlier by the Mitchell video that Paul posted is the throws on the gear shift levers for the synchronized transmission are less than the standard transmission.

Yes. I thought that point was important enough to highlight in today's video also.

This video also shows how the new shift rail travel limit rings (they limit the shift forks from going past the detents and "over-shifting") work. A driver can slam the shifter into a gear without fear of damaging the fork or going past the gear mesh point. Really improves the Model A drivability and makes it even more "idiot proof".
