All the f-sport parts have a 12 month warranty if you just buy them over the counter.

They have a warranty of 12 months or the balance of the factory vehicle warranty if you get them installed at a dealership (including prior to new vehicle delivery and after)

after using the short shifter for about 2 weeks now, i can say that it is a big improvement to the car and well worth the $250 for a small metal piece and the rubber boot. My shifter doesn't grind at all and shifts into all the gears smoothly now. Before there use to be hesitation when shifting into certain gears but now, i don't have that problem anymore.

i have been stalling lately however. I accidently keep putting it into 3rd or 4th when I am supposed to be in neutral (coming to a stop at the light) and then letting go of the clutch. other than that, smooth sailing! :P

+1

mine is getting smoother now. it use to be really clunky but not so much now. hopefully it'll start feeling the same as stock.

Default Waiting for my F Sport springs...

They're being installed right now as we speak! I can't wait to see what it looks like! I worked a deal with the dealer when I negotiated my lease so I'm even more excited considering the springs and installation was "free."
