yes and it works perfectly and looks good as hell. just make sure you spend the little extra time and set it up right using the spacers and you will be able to line your logo up

Yeah it comes with spacers. Little pieces of colored plastic. They work great though mine is lined up perfectly.

VERY COLD in the winter. VERY HOT in the summer.

it only gets hot when the car is sitting in the sun or just in hot temps. I would not know about cold since I am in CA. But the spacers work well and it does look really nice. Plus the size fits in your hand well. Make sure you put a bit of thread locker on the allen set screws for the adapter so they wont back out from vibs.

You can't unless you modify the shifter mounts a bit.

It'll fit if you just bolt it up but you won't be able to access 1st and 2nd.

If your referring to how it sits on the shaft, all you can do is cut the shifter shaft. Mine is screwed on as tight as I could and that's as low as it would screw on.
