I merely wanted to communicate this problem so that future customers weren't affected, but obviously DC doesn't care. Install takes about an hour and requires one person in the car not only to help in the removing of the old one and installing of the new one but also to adjust the tightness of the bolt to the desired level. The shift throws were shortened quite a bit making the most difference on the 1-2 shift but definitely shortened all the throws. I don't know about reduction in shift times yet, but I doubt it makes THAT much difference. All in all a nicely finished piece but one of the last things you should do considering the high price and difficulty of install.
Sealed bearings are a nice touch though.
No need to remove the b-pipe or heat shield as stated elsewhere. The shaft between the shifter pivot ball and the link is lengthened to reduce throw. All the other shifts, including the 5 to 4 downshift, are now quick and sure. I took the opportunity to add a RAZO leather shift knob to complement the mod. Use a hydraulic lift if available.
