Hi All,

Okay cleared some stuff with the admins so we're good to go.

As for the set screw, break everything, cant go back to stock, gotta rebuild your whole car comment.

It is not true.

We wanted to make sure that this was clear.

Please note in our product description in a previous post, that we use the same fastening method as other mentioned short shift kits . Set screws. We use 4. I am not sure how many set screws other manufacturers kits use however.

The main difference between our mounting method and the other kits referenced in prior posts is that our set screws screw in perpendicular to the OEM shifter shaft and press into the fat section of the shifter shaft way above the OEM ball. This eliminates all possibility of marring or otherwise damaging the OEM shifter ball.

From what I have seen on other kits is that the set screws come in at an angle and drive into the top of the OEM shifter ball for retention. This method of attachment is very secure, but it does allow the possibility of damage from the set screws contact to the OEM shifter ball. From our review, even if damage does happen due to this mounting method, it would not be on an area of the shifter ball that would be detrimental to shifter function.

I hope this has cleared things up a bit. We apologize for the confusion.
As always, questions welcomed.


Thanks again,
H-fit team.
