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.

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.
