I received my short shifter on Wednesday...and installed it within 15 minutes of receiving it. It rocks!!!..I also have a stainless braided clutch cable and this combination makes shifting bullett proof and 100% accurate with no slush..;...whooohoooo!@

I installed mine last night. Nice piece of work. Shifts are now much more direct.
I broke the clip taking the panel off the second time (Forgot to screw in the ashtray the first time). Oh well, I'm an idiot.
Shailoche - was the SS clutch line a big improvement?

Seems pretty easy.

I also believe the brake and clutch fluids use the same reservior - so if you plan on doing both, do them at the same time.

The gears are so close now. It makes me want that lighter flywheel I've been looking at. Does anyone have both? I'd like to see how well the quicker shift action works with one.

WENT OUT WITH THE WIFE LAST NIGHT AND SO ENJOYED MY NEW SHORT SHIFTER. SOMEONE DESCRIBED IT AS HAVING A DIRECT RIFLE-LIKE ACTION. THAT IS THE MOST ACURATE DESCRIPTION I HAVE HEARD SO FAR. ITS WONDERFUL! DO BOTH!

I've gotten a few PM's saying they can't find the price in the forum. I thought I did that but it might have been on another thread. It is also funny that this thread has begun to lead again as the other one is shorter? 
Anyway, the cost is $249.00 plus $12.00 S&H in the lower 48. Calif customers pay 8.25 tax
They are on the shelf and going fast. I don't think we will allow them to run out. This time I'll start the production run sooner. I can't promise anything though as it is before lunch on Monday and I have sold four already.
