I have has my Short Stick in since January. Not a single issue. Never missed a gear. Trans vibration did go up a lil bit because of the rubber isolator being gone but thats about it. Both my dad and brother made it a point to tell me how much better the trans felt with the shorter stick.

I don't recall anyone ever having trans issues because of a shifter handle. lol. Maybe it was just a coincidence that they had tranny troubles.

I cut out a gasket for mine along with some liquid seal. No noise. Autozone.

Ive had the Lous ss since early may and ive had no problems with it. A lot easier to shift than the stocker. Made gears a lot easier to hit and and improved my shift time a lot.

grinding after a short stick install is trans related...not stick.....or driver

i've had the LSS on 2 different cars 96z and 99z....since summer of 2001.

i've had no problems.

you feel a bit more vibration, but that's the nature of the beast when elimiating the rubber vibration dampener.

We have the lous ss and love it. No more noise than stock but of course we can't hear it Our car sounds to much like a pro stock car
