just got the skunk2 SS installed. feel good! Real subtle, you'll notice the shortness after driving it, b/c I couldn't feel a difference just sitting in my seat and playing with the gears. Also feels a lot notchier, I like.

A few tips: Follow the DIY for the Mugen SS install, but you don't have to do a few steps: don't take out the cotter pin on the left side of the assembly and you don't have to mess with the linkage on the right side.. just pop out the black one on the left and you can twist the shift assembly to access the bottom.
The bushing on the ball of the shifter is a PITA to get off, keep working at it.. I pried it off with a screwdriver and some force.. Use a rubber mallet to put the bushing on the new extended skunk2 ball.. Use loctite definately on the set screws to keep the extension from coming off in the future. As for screwing the 4 bolts back in, it kinda sucks to get it aligned with the 4 added heighteners, so just work at it.. Took me prob 45min to install in the damn heat. Most time took was to take off the bushing on the ball and getting the set screws in really tight, and then finally screwing the 4 bolts together. Getting the console off was cake though. Good luck!

I like the shorty a lot, had one in my old car and loved it. Feels really solid now and definately shorter, but not as short as I would want.. but short enough!
