I installed my short shifter two weeks ago tomorrow. The install went fine and the shifter has functioned and felt great, with no audible vibrations.

I got around to installing the rear bushing yesterday. I did it with a set of Rhino ramps and wheel chocks. It took me an hour or so. I suspect it would have gone easier and faster had I access to a lift or a jack that could raise the car higher for support on jack stands. The limited amount of room under the car combined with the cramped quarters around the bushing (due to the close proximity to the exhaust and drive shaft) made it a challenge to get the bolts holding the OEM bushing out and the replacement bolts for the KB bushing back in and torqued. The bushing helped crisp up the shift feel.

All in all, I'm extremely pleased with the KartBoy short shifter and rear bushing for the twins.
