    Im thinking of a short shifter and was looking at COBB's adjustable

    Any pros and cons ?? with the COBB SS ?

    For the install does one have to go under the car.
    I dont have my ramps nor my jacks here with me

    I was looking at the install video at HSPN
    http://videos.hspn.com/?videoid=30
    and they went under the car to get a wrench for the reverse gear lockout. but i dont think a 5 speed has that.

    I have the Kartboy shifter and am very pleased with it. Install was incredibly simple with no need to go under the car at all. The cobb shifter, if I recall, had height adjustability as well. If thats the case, to me, it just looked like one more thing that could wear out...

    From everything Ive read / seen, the Cobb SS is one of the best to go with.

    very easy install. dont even need a mallet if youre tough enough :)

    the only thing i dont like about my cobb ss is that there are too many options for adjusting.
