^^^^ didn't see you post until now.

Please keep in mind that the leather on mine looks a bit worn out.

Also the clear plastic/rubber protector on top has come off too.

 

In any case some pics for all.

 

This is what I got in the post today. no it did not come in the packet in the back ground. I needed something white and I had that.

Notice the size/thickness of the above lever? compare it to the stock one....

See the space provided in the kit. keeps the gear lever in almost the same position as the OEM lever.

Different Angle to see the spacer.

Yet another angle but closer.

I will say this, it feels a lot lighter than the OEM lever, which leads to you feeling all the feedback from the gearbox/shortshifter???

I am not exactly liking the feel, but I am sure that I will get used to it.

I might have to find some rubber grommits to put in between the lever and spacer and then between the spacer and lever from shortshifter.

Thoughts guys, what did you do to your install Aaron?

Nothing, between my 4 inch exhaust and fuel pump I hear nothing.

 

Rubber mount it and it will feel sloppy like the stock one. Mine is mounted solid.

Bit of an update, so I have noticed a lot of feedback from the gearbox. A lot of unfamiliar noises that I never heard before.

I couldn't understand at first why I never had this noise with the OEM lever.

I then noticed that in the base of the OEM lever that they have rubber between the lever and the base support.

 

I am going to have to find a way around this soon as it is making me feel like the gear box is falling apart, even though I know it is not.

I like the look and may take the plunge,  although I probably should get the short shifter and install both at the same time.

 

Does anybody have any feedback on the hurst short shifter ver local aeroflow/MW.  The knob/stick/shortshifter bundle from Hurst seems cost effective although concerned about the quanlity of the short shifter.

Thanks for the idea. Well I originally bought the strap wrench to get the oem gear lever knob off.

this happened....

So I have decided to cut off a couple of possible insulation strips to put on the lever and see how I go.

Shifter kit arrived from core shifters yesterday.
It comes with the same stick as what Marco ordered which is a bit different to the advertised picture on their site.

Should get a chance to fit it up on Sunday. 7e87fac9d29fad72e2988e8029237204.jpg
