everybody with Evasive or B&M short shifter
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by EvasiveMotorsports.com »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Made of stainless steel, it has a CNC machined aluminum pivot housing and spherical bearing. Simple installation instructions included with this professional shifter</TD></TR></TABLE>
When everybody buys it, does everybody wonder why the shifer came with a larger hole in which the bolt doesn't snuggly fit through it?
In response to the description, this isn't true as it doesn't include the spherical bearing. I bought Evasive short shifter some time ago, and the intructions that came with it isn't quite proper. At first I didn't know what to do with the supplied red "O-rings, looked useless at the time. After my install, my shifter was rather noisy-- it rattles when i cruise in 5th gear. Couldn't stand it anymore I decided to swap in a stock shifter I got from a friend. As i was taking it out I noticed the bearing from the stock shifter could be removed from the housing. I took it out and test fit it on the "evasive short shifter" big hole. and wow it fitted perfect! I also realized the little red O-rings is to replace the stock black ones found on the stock shifter bearing.
Basically, you gotta take out the stock shifter's bearing, replaced the O-rings with the supplied red ones(unnecessary), transfer it into the new short shifter. Trust me, after this, this shifter much more smooth, and eliminated the rattling!

Re: everybody with Evasive or B&M short shifter (kinvid)
not to make you feel crunchy, but if you search for B&M shifters like i did, you'll see lots of people telling you and showing you how to do that. personally, i'm 6'1" and hate my B&M no-bend shifter. it's way too far away. i can't even reach 2nd, 4th, or Reverse gears w/o leaning forward. but you'll see that if you search, too.

I don't remember the B&M manual stating to take out the bearing from the stock unit and putting it into the short shifter

It must depend on your height and personal pref. I love the B&M no curve, but then again i also sit very close to the pedals...
