just installed schnell short shifter

hi all, i just installed the schnell short shifter in my 04 boxster s..here are my thoughts ...the instructons from **************************************** were right on except they say you need a 15 mm torx and a 30 and its actully 20 mm and a 30mm..the only part i had trouble with was cutting out the old plastic bushings..that took alot more effort and i ended up hammering out the rear one...but apart from that it was pretty easy to do just keep track off all the screws....now for the feel of the new shifter..well the throws are about 20 to 25% less but its alot harder to shift from one gear to the next or should i say stiffer...i drove it and so did my buddy who has driven my car before ..and we both agree its a toss up if its better with the new shifter...yes its shorter throws between gears but it takes more effort to make those throws....so for now my opinion is its not better or worse just different...by the way this is great forum thanks to all you guys for posting alot of good info on the boxster...
