the short throw adapter just slides on and bolts up to the stock shifter and this will help follow the link

RE: do not buy short throw adapter
Skunk2 makes a good bit of decent stuff, I have heard very few complaints about their suspension parts. Every brand of SS adapter has been giving people problems on the 8th gens.

My answer:
Mugen Quick Shifter= $240
Hybrid Racing Spherical Bearing= $80
Skunk2 6MT Shift Knob= 50
Auger Euro Black Alcantara shift boot with red stitching= $40
TWM Shifter Base Bushings= $25

$435 on my shifter assembly...well worth it.

It is, but I have found that you can get close for half the cash, that last little bit costs a good bit of money.

Right now Mugen is still the only company with a full assembly SS...and they have two (the JDM one works on our cars lol). I scooped up the one from King Motorsports because it seems like every Mugen owner I talk to wants a cut of the action...everyone wants to be such a hustler these days.
