When I first tried out the kit, I almost assumed that there was no change at all. It is a subtle change in throw distance, and zero change in throw effort. After I started to drive and go through the gears, getting on the freeway, I could definitely feel the difference in the throw distance.

The throw is shorter than stock, the action is just as smooth, and I haven't had any problems at all.
how was installation? Do the shifts also feel better as in notchy etc.. Solid? I'm wondering if I should opt for additional metal hard bushings to where the 4 pieces are added..
