Thanks to Doug and rjb23 for experimenting with other short shifters (Doug-EVO and rjb23-7th gen). I recieved mine (7th gen about $45 on ebay) and installed. It took about 1.5 hours from start to finish. I downloaded the instructions from TWMs website and read the ones in the how to articles.

I have to say the throw is much much shorter and about 1-2 inches lower than stock. My finger are kinda close to the dash but I think it is because I only used 2 of the 4 spacers (the back 2) plus I have big hands. I will put some pics up when I put the other 2 spacers in.

Bottom line, this this rocks - great mod for $45.

ya. i ended up cutting that plastic piece anyways. i notice that it was just barely rubbing, i couldnt slide a single sheet of paper in between the plastic and the rod. anyways, still runs smooth with shorter throws. price vs. performance... this is virtually unmatched, lol. late!
