Count me in for the first one.

+1 - I have installed several short shift kits on other cars in the past. To date, these have been just the basic shortened/adjustable shift lever replacements on the transmission side that utilized the OEM pivot bushings and OEM shift cable endlinks. The sealed cartridge bearings and the spherical rod end bearings sealed the deal for me. I am excited about the apparent quality and attention to detail this kit seems to offer. I have already sent my payment!
