i wish tou would take the knob off and measure the throw from 1st to 2nd just to compare. Mine is like 4-4.5" of throw. That is pretty short. ABout an 1.5" short than stock. I think it was a great buy for $60 from underground.

b&m shifters are shorter too? that sucks. i want short throws with a tall shifter. i also want a slightly bent shifter that puts the shift knob close to the steering wheel. im gonna make my own.

Isn't that the truth. The first time I used it, I was just like wow. It's a really nice shifter though.

so do i, just d/t the fact that it's my 1st manual car...

but it starting to feel "sloppy" may be just d/t the age of the beast <worn-out plastic bushings> plus any mod, even cheapo ones like this brand, is for the better as long as it renews my love for this car.

i'm gonna try to wait till my car hit's it's 2oo K miles before installing my pilot motorsports/obx shifter... ~5K more to go!
