So has anyone tried the short shifter as well
I wonder what it's like with both.
Maybe i should drop it off some day and try it out.

There are shift cables attached to the transmission, and the housing is attached to the body of the car. GM chose rubber bushings for a reason. Although I am intrigued as to why some people are claiming it makes the shifter feel more rigid, and I'd like to know the actual difference - is it a major change?

I put metal shifter bushings in my ms3 and it was night and day difference. Doesnt TWM make bushings for the SS? if this OP isnt going to say **** then **** him, TWM has bushings for $25.
It makes the shifter have a more direct feel, and pushing into gear easier. I didnt have vibes when I had mine in

Has anyone seen the instruction booklet ... it isn't very clear on how to place the actual new bushings .. anyone got a pic? .. If not, I guess i'll just have to see it for myself

pull the rubber stock bushings out of the shifter base, put the new bushings on the studs the base sits on, reinstall the base, put the washer on top, then bolt it all back down. Done.

So has anyone else tried their STS?
I'm not sure if this will hurt or help me. That is did you guys say it relocates the the longitudinal connector? My problem was once already I have cracked the bushing that connects the shifter to the forward and backward connector of the shift linkage. So i'm wondering if this might help me?
Any suggestions?
