To those of you that are still undecided, i highly recommend it. A HUGE difference in the throw. The E-ring during the install was a PITA, but besides that and the amount of room you have to do the install, it wasn't too bad.

The install has to be done from the bottom for the car. Unfortunately, i don't have any pics of the install. All i had were ramps, so i didn't have much space under there. Make sure you really get a good amount of lube to get the shift boot on. Also, turning it inside out is much easier.

Sounds great, perhaps you can post an mpeg on Youtube and insert a hotlink?

i dunno if a video will do the shifter justice, but i can try to get one up. As with the install instructions, they are pretty straight forward.
With the e-ring, i used two long flat heads at each end of the e-ring to pop it off, then used pliers to put it back on. After putting the two pieces together, i suggest just sliding the control shaft into the hole to hold it in place while trying to screw in the screws.

Deacon,

It will be great to hear your opinion on this short-through F-Sport toy. I await your review.
