I did a little adjusting with the tit, It feels best a hair away from the stock location. It takes a little concentration to get it into 5th and 6th, and when throwing it into neutral from any gear you have to be careful that it doesn't slip into another gear as the throws are pretty short.
Mad, if you're around this weekend you can try it out. Just don't go crazy, I still gots small turbo.

Do you think this is something you'd keep and recommend?

Thanks,

Maybe. I'll let you know after I drive it to work half asleep tomorrow. People should definitely try it. It would probably come down to personal preference, some people just don't like short shifting, some people love it.
The only thing that would bother me is possible damage to the synchros or linkages or whatever. I don't know anything about that stuff.

Anyone have an idea if this will work with the E4P short shifter? I the COBB and TWM seem to be the ones everyone had, I figure it would work with the E4P short shifter, but again not 100% sure.

If it works with TWM, it will work with ours exactly the same.

Ha I drove it for three or four days, took it off for a day, put it back on for a couple days, and now it's currently off. For me the shifts were just a hair too short for daily driving. I like to shift fast and I felt like I was shifting slower to make sure it went into the right gear. I didn't have any trouble getting it into any gear - it went fine into first when I was stopped at a light, reverse was perfect, fifth I had to go slow so I didn't do the infamous 4th-3rd "upshift" (I did that once stock and vowed never again), and it never popped out of gear. I might put it back on at some point and just get used to it. I'm sure some people will really like it.
