Thought I missed this run, but Ben contacted me and said he had one available and I was next on list.
Got it today, installed it today. Very easy, no issues. Good fit, good quality, and functions well.
Drove only 20 minutes cause holiday traffic where I live is crazy, but I like it. Very solid, much shorter throws. It feels less rubbery/buttery and more like everyone says, like a precise rifle bolt.
It takes a little more force, not much, and that is a good thing. Right now with only 20 minutes of driving with it I found myself trying to over force it and wanting to push/pull it as far as it used to take. Before when I used to hit that first notch of resistance it would shift another 2 or so inches. Now as soon as I feel the first notch of resistance it then just goes another half inch and clicks solidly into gear. Muscle memory tells be to try and push/pull it that extra 2 inched or so that isn't necessary anymore.
I, like others have stated, put the cables back on exactly where I marked them before I popped them out.
The only trouble I am having is tightening the lock nuts without letting the cups turning with it. It's kinda hard to grip the cup, but I have found that I can use a screw driver and wedge it in the u shaped cut-out of the cup and that holds it while I tighten the nut. Don't want to grab it with pliers and damage the metal surface.
Nice work Ben, and thanks again.
