Hey, I was thinking about getting the Skunk 2 short shifter, but have heard that short shifters might ruin your transmission. Has anyone had this happen to them, or has heard about this happening??

Its not the shifter that ruins synchros, its the driver. A short shifter just increases the chances of a bad driver ruining his/her synchros Also increases the chances of hitting the dreaded 3rd-->2nd misshift.

Skunk is a decent shifter, go for it.
