There's a lot of good info using the search on the C's.
I used it about two weeks ago with much success (the search
function, not the short shifter).
But it seems most love the C's shifter and would get the Mugen
or Spoon bushings to go with it. ES bushings are avail too.

if you just wantr a little shorter and easy to install, get a Mugen shift ****. It sits loer ont he shift lever to create less pull. I love mine Cant wait to mate it up with a Cs and Mugen bushings. Mikes(IPS) was awsome!!

sorta ot: if i get a short shifter, will it take away the risk of grinding the gears more? and will it make shifting into gears smoother? since it doesn't have to travel very far to get in. thanks
