OK so as for a review of the product itself and the materials used everything is up to par. everything feels solid enough. the one thing that i would have preferred would the be the pull up lever to go into reverse is plastic and if it was metal it would have been a bit of a nicer feel. other then that there isn't much to complain about.

now as far as function goes, if your looking for shorter shifts you will be happy. Shifts are significantly reduced in travel and it is noticeable. It will probably take a little to get used to the change in speed. It is also a bit stiffer and shifts are more labored. At this point some of the gates still feel a little notchy especially coming into 6th but i am assuming that things will loosen up with a bit of wear. With the reverse plate adjusted shifts into 1st/2nd are quite smooth now as well as 3rd/4th. in the end the product is quite good if you are looking for that shorter shift feel. with a bit of time i am positive the shifter will feel more at home and seamless shifts will ensue!
