The short shift kit also removes the vibration isolator half way up the stick so makes it even shorter - with patience and creativity you can remove it yourself and save yourself the cost of the kit. It is best to remove the entire stick and leather shroud from the gearbox/tunnel though as any mestakes have big impacts.
This momo gear knob sits very low on the stick as well and is weighty enough to smooth out the shift a little given you have to put more arm into it.
