That's freakin tight. If my box was a stick, I'd so do this in a heartbeat.

its about the same.
it does take a fraction of a second longer to change gears,but then again im no racer.


the **** itself is solid billit and feals nice and heavy and i thing helps make the shifting smother.
it was a great mod and works solid like it should

Right, if you're not on a track, that fraction of a second extra to shift is a non-issue. Of course, I made an even longer shifter (which a buddy of mine refers to as the school bush shifter).

I actually like having a long shifter-- it's really comfortable to drive with.

i agree.
im 6' 4" and the extra highth realy makes it alot more comfortable.
ive always thaught it was strange to have tall seats and shifter thats close to the floor.
