    If you want only Will's attention, you should just pm him.

    This install is about as easy as they get besides hanging an air freshener on your rear view. I say DIY. The bushings are worth it. The shifter itself just shortens the throw, the firmness of the shift comes from the bushings. I am sporting the Kartboy SS with front and rear bushings. The shift is very crisp, i.e. you know its in gear. The rear bushing is a bit of a pain to install, but the whole thing can be done in 30 min.

    FYI, the Cobb is overpriced. Even though it is adjustable, isn't everyone that uses it going to have it on the shortest shift possible, which is the same as the Kartboy?

    For what you save by going with the Kartboy, you can spend the $35 on both bushings. http://www.allwheelengineering.com/basket/catalog.cgi?query_net_id=kartboy&query_class=KB-001-1997

    Sweet, thank you!

    I know it says 97-06, but I've heard these things are at least somewhat universal...is that true?

    Should be. Might be slightly different, but you should be able to figure it our based off the older model.

    Match the product to your car on the kartboy site and it will be correct. There are a few other places you can get it as well for a decent price. There are the vendors here and fastwrx, which is also close.
