Switched back to my factory shifter this morning. I liked the short throws but i was starting to think i was having clutch problems. Hard to get into hear, especially on down shifts when not moving. Seems like I had to keep greasing it to make it shift easy and not be so noisy. Just got back from a test drive with the factory shifter and no noise and smooth shifting. I guess that's why those cheap Ebay shifters are so cheap. Getting pretty good at it, for me, only took about an hour.
