I'll be installing the r-side basic tomorrow, i'll let you guys know how it goes, etc...
I recommend getting new bushings from the dealership regardless, they have a tendency to wear out pretty quick, especially if you drive aggressively, live in a hot climate, etc.

best paint to use
So? how did it go? When I was at the Baltimore car show, I finally got to look at a 6speed tib.. I liked the short throws on that one.. a little heavy for my tastes though... possibly intentional to slow shifting.

i have the obx shifter. it took me about 30 min to put in, but i took it for a test drive and hated it it felt like my stock one but cheaper made. it was just real loss in the gears so i just cut and welded my stock one, and put it back in and it works wonderful

Uhm, Batman?
I hate to break it to you mang, but even though you didn't like the OBX, cutting your stock one down in Height doesn't a short shifter make. It just makes it a Shorter Shifter. LOL
Follow me here...
If OEM THROW (The distance you have to move the shifter on the stock one to get it to change gears is this far...

Than a Short Shifter lessens how far you have to move to shift, like this.

Cutting down the height doesn't affect how far you are moving very much, AND, you are also having to push harder to get it to shift now.
