Will install instructions be included ? If yes will they point to what or where they need to be greased ? Or maybe can you explain on this forum ?

Chris at Uniwerks will mail the PDF instructions to the customers 
I've ditched the printed instruction... too much wasted paper !
Grease should be used at the main friction points : The joint between the shifter and the lever (delrin insert) and the pivot for the cable end.

So petroleum based standard grease is sufficient ? Sorry to be a pain but I want to do this right the first time .

Anybody try these out yet? price is a bit steep for what I'm imagining to be a fairly small difference.

If your shifter is like new, it won't make a huge difference no, but my bet it's that it's not... I've never seen one (and I'm a Porsche Tech so I get to see a LOT !) in good condition.
So it will make a huge difference !
The price is "high" because it's a fairly small production, I can't afford to make 5000 of them to get a real low price !
The complete kit shifter + lever is still cheaper than many aftermarket short shifter

Just received an email from Chris with the install instructions , very quick service  I have purchased another shifter housing so I plan on doing the bench work this weekend . I am going to take this opportunity to strip my console down and paint it silver to match the car .

This morning I decided to assemble the short shifter and side lever upgrade into an extra housing I purchased specifically for this . They are cheap enough to purchase and this allows easy swap to go back to stock if need be . Anyway I started with the hole that needs to be drilled for the side lever . I measured the shoulder of the bolt with mic's and came up with .469 , looked at my multiple drill indexes and found a 15/32 which is .469 . Chucked the bit into my cordless drill and drilled through the outside , lined up by eye and drilled the inside wall . After drilling the inside wall I continued pushing forward with the drill and it cleaned out the little wall where the nut goes . Took all of 30 seconds to do . I slid the shoulder bolt into the hole it was quite snug which is what I wanted .
Then I grabbed the short shifter and installed ( loosely ) the short shifter and side lever into the housing . It takes a little fussing but no big deal . Every wear point received a liberal coating of marine/off road grease . Assembled the bearings/cups for the shifter including the pennies  and started adjusting . I adjusted the shifter so the ball that goes into the side lever was aprox. in the middle of the teflon bushing . I used a little bit of red Loctite on all the threads . It feels like there is zero play north/south so I think I have the cups/bearing pre load set correctly . Side to side feels very precise with just a little bit of a catch/detent feel going into the 1st/2nd plane I assume this is normal .
I am probably weeks away from installing in the car as I'm going to pull the console and prep/paint it to match the exterior of the car . Here are two pics of the finished product , I will post my final thoughts after I install in the car and drive it for a bit . And last but not least , thanks to Ben for making these and Chris at Uniwerks for being honest and easy to work with guys .

Hi guys !
Just letting you know that I'm making another update on the Short Shifters !
This one you can retrofit easily on your old one and it should make it even better after a few years !
I'll be posting pictures soon
Ben

Hi Ben, I have received the kit as you know but I have no instructions which is fine as it seems quite straightforward. The only question is the hole that has to be drilled, is it really 15/32? If so why such a weird size? Is 12mm ok or is it too large?

Online conversion charts state 12MM is equal to 15/32 .
