    A very good friends advice led me to the skunk2 shifter and knob combo. I just got it in the mail, and will probably install it within a couple days. I'll let ya'll know what I think.

    After a couple days of using my short shifter, I have mixed feelings for the time being. I like the crisp precise feel and shorter throw. But it is much harder to ingage than it use to be. It's so hard, I feel like it actually lengthened th amount of time it takes me to shift. According to reviews I've read people say it softens over time, or you get used to it. I think i'm gonna add power and rpm's to compensate for it.
