No, grease is definitely required for longevity !
Any high pressure grease will do. No copper/aluminum paste.
I just dropped the package right now

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

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 .

Mine said that 15/32 was slightly smaller and since the whole point of the lever is to minimise slack I thought I had better ask, I am nervous that a 12mm drill bit on plastic may come out slightly more, I'll keep the speed down or maybe drill smaller and ream it out.
Thanks,
Terry

If you can take any scrap plastic you might have and drill the 12mm hole and check for fitment . If too large then your idea of drilling smaller and reaming out is a good one . In my case 15/32 was tight I had to work the bolt to get it in which is what I wanted to eliminate any excess play .

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

The existing hole is 10mm but the bolt you provide is larger than that so the existing hole has to be enlarged . I provided the info to what I had to do I suggest anyone else to measure the OD of the bolt and drill accordingly .
