Hope you got a discount for it having a short shifter because in the long run short shifters ruin your synchros. I'm not a fan of short shifters due to that reason but hey every man to his own.

alot of things that people probably do because of habit can damage the synchros. resting your hand on the shift **** while it is in gear will ruin the synchros. so a short shifter shouldn't be the biggest of your worries

im not him but its a nice unit.. full replacement which im more of a fan.. it cost more than the REVO which is a copy for the most part but known to have a weak top weld.. the REVo runs like 89 bucks the BC is 131 ( via Club rsx) if you dont shift liek a mad man all the time either one will work fine in the long run .. and they are prolly the best on the market right now as full replacements.. i dont know anything about the add on pieces becase i have no experiance with them .

putting short shifter on is not from habit. Knowingly putting a short shifter on a car ruins your synchros life span dramtically unlike a habit. If you've got money to throw away have a ball. I'm just saying this to help people out.

I've got the revo ss and it's awesome. I have one of the rare 02 trannys. Doesn't pop out of gear and doesn't grind.
