I just installed the side shifter to the original short shifter. I was one of the early adopters so mine has had lots of use. Both products are excellent. There are a few things to be careful about with the install that I haven't seen mentioned. So I emailed Chris a list for him to consider.
One example - it is really important to check your adjustment of the two big set screws after some use. The assembly may 'settle' and require subsequent minor adjustment. In my case the adjustment was significant. With the console off you could see fore/aft movement - just watch the "E" clips move away from the housing at one end or the other. That lost motion was sufficient to create grinding during the 1 to 2 shift when the gearbox was cold. Hopefully this comment helps others.
So with that correction made(no fault of Ben's product) and the side shifter installed it was a big improvement.
The difference between a good install and a great one may be some of the issues I sent to Chris. Someone needs to do a nerdy detail install video because when you get these two parts perfectly dialed in ,the result is outstanding. Well done Ben !
