The short shift kits on these cars are a thing of preference. Most(not all) of the people who install them love them. I for one love it. The ones who don't like them do not like the notchiness. The shift kits make the throws precise,in my opinoin,how the car should have been from the factory. It can be reversed but you have to drop around $400 or so on a whole new shift assembly. I bet you can make some of that back by selling the old assembly w/ the short shift kit to someone else though.
Don't pay $200 for one,get the eBay clone from a2rinc. There are minor differences but not much.
You can just put the old shifter back with the new bushings and not spend an extra penny.
i bet all of them are made in the same place, just painted diff colors and got diff names.
i like the notchy feel, stok is just too 80s bmw kinda throw, all over the place

Hmm that interesting. I talked to someone who didn't like it and they said they had to buy a whole new OEM shifter assembly to reverse it.

I have a NSX with short shift and it's very notchy, some people call it "gated position" which I like. Is it similar to what you guys are describing? If that's the case, then I'll definitely get a SS kit.
