Re: Short Shifter or Stock Shifter Preference...
I like my egay short shifter, it feels normal to me now.
What I find more important however, is replacing the shitty 10-15 year old rubber shift bushings with urathane bits.
Seriously, the Energy kit is like, 10 bucks from any speed shop and it's the best 10 bucks I've ever spent.

Also, I like the stock looking shifter **** but the plastic threads inside aren't the same as the 3/8 all-thread rod and won't tighten down all the way. Any suggestions?JP

Re: Short Shifter or Stock Shifter Preference...
This is what I came up with after I saw this from a guy in the FS forum.
I <3 my stock shifter ****, but the plastic threads make it impossible to tighten down all the way on 3/8 all thread.
Otherwise I LOVE it. Seem to actually get a better shift too. Who knows, I like it.
