people that have installed short shifters

how hard is the install can I do it my self, i have the neuspeed S/S and want to put it on.

It all depends on how adapt at using tools you are. If you can barely change a flat tire, I recommend you let someone else do the shifter. If you can change your sway bars/suspension I say you should have no problem. If you can install a whole new interior, seats, custom head unit, monitors in the headrests then I ask why you are asking.

Otherwise, I have a write up with pictures and video here on how to install it.

Any synchro problems after installation of short shifter? I'm afraid to install a SS because my 3rd gear synchro is already toasted... no mis shifting, i just a fast shifter on the track.

Install is cake. You will have to play with it a bit to get it adjusted so shifting between gears is smooth. Just take you time.

PS remove the ashtray.

I have no problems with shifting at all. It is so smooth and short. I get compliments from everyone I let drive my car. Other than the chip, this is the best mod for daily enjoyment. Yeah, the ashtray sucked a$$. I had a bitch of a time with it. Couldnt get it completely out so I just moved it enough to work around. Then had problems getting it seated back to its original position. Now I could do it easily as I know what to feel for. The webpage should really help though on the install, if not, Im always available online for assistance.

Yes i also consider it as one of the best mod's!

as Mark said, remove the ashtry. easiest way to do that is to get/make a set of radio tools, pull the radio out partially, and then push out the climate control unit from behind and then disconnect it.

for tools, you'll need a thin flathead screwdriver (to remove one-time use clamp holding shift boot collar to shifter), 8mm socket, 10mm socket, 3" socket extension, 6" socket extension, T30 torx bit/driver, 6mm allen/hex key/socket, and a pair of circlip pliers (or small needlenose pliers)
