I'd install them. The shifting will feel a lot tighter with the aluminum bushings replacing the old, spongy, rubber OEM ones.

I bought this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...#ht_4329wt_1176 just installed it actually, install took longer then i thought, about 1.5hours, partly because i did it instead of sleeping so i was working sloppy and slowly haha I used all the metal bushings and they do make the shift a lot more firm then the stock rubber ones. The short shift is literally like 1 inch movement into each gear. Personally I think it works great! Although i slightly miss a longer shift, i love the feeling of a short one too! I did cut that little plastic piece even though it didn't even seem like it was really touching(just in case) and I thought getting the clips off of the stock shift bar was easy. Just took a 12mm wrench i think it was, slipped it under the clip, stood off a step with the wrench under my foot and gave the bar a nice easy whack of a hammer using a screw driver to bump them apart, only took 1 try. No vice needed! In 1st and 2nd gear it does seem a tad close to the parking break but i personally find it nothing to fuss over. I have rather large hands myself and it isnt an issue for me, mostly because i grab my shifter from the right side. Unless you shift mostly with your hand ontop towards the left of your knob, i don't see this really being an issue.... |

For further reference, here is the cheapest 7th gen short shifter currently on sale, $35.
 I assume the design of the bottom has a lot to do with feel...

nice, was wondering if the shifter feels a bit rough when shifting. I've been using my 7th gen short shifter for about 3 years and feels a little rough in between gears sometimes. Not really a big issue though, just wondering.

If directed at me, I haven't installed it yet...I've got to put the transmission in first.
 Describe the roughness, is it like a vibration in the shifter?
