My Christmas Present

Had the OEM Short shifter installed last week. What a difference. I'm glad I waited a few months before installing it. Perfect throw, smooth not too notchy, and no issues thus far when cold. Anyone on the fence about this mod should not waste anymore time.

OEM short shift kit is the only way to go. Great to hear you are enjoying the car much more.

I presume sport shifter works fine even in colder climate (ie below 20 F)? I presume you can still shift and gets easier after the fluid warms up?

Well the coldest it gets here is about 30, at or around this temp I did notice and increased shift effort when the car was cold. Not really a big deal as is went away after 60 seconds of driving.
