I can't think of anything that could cause this. Keep paying attention to it and let me know if it changes anymore.

just installed mine tonight, that was alot easier than I expected. Even the great DIY I read made it sound hared than it waactually was.
The shifting is very tight and quick, I noticed that most of the improvment is in the "side to side" movement as opposed to up and down.

EDIT: Also this shifter is warrantied for the life of your car as long as you are the original owner.

i went by richards shop last week to pick up a short shifter and he was nice enough to even install it for me. its only been a week and i have to say, out of the performence mods ive made so far( intake,exaust,springs) this is my favorite. i dont think any one mod could change the driving experience of the 8 for the better then this shifter. well done

As for the small issue I was having before, everything seems to be 100% now, and I am enjoying the SS more than ever. Thanks again Richard.
