Did this install yesterday in about an hour. Works pretty damn good, 2nd to 3rd shift is awesome, such a difference. My only complaint is that the manufacturer did not send directions, I used the ones off of installuniversity. Total for the stick was under $40 and again, its great! Just wanted to share my experience.

Can u send me the instructions? I am pretty sure i did everything right but I think the kit should also come with nuts for the bolts or something that can attach to the other side of the bolts. Wanna send me some, I'll keep raving about how much i like it

We don't include nuts because the shifter base already has threads the bolts screw into, your is like this correct? One thing I will suggest is either lock tight or even just teflon tape on the bolts to keep them from backing out. Hope that helps.

More props to UMI. I'm loving mine on a Pro 5.0.
mc01ta, what shifter is it on? I really can imagine it being difficult - all I had to do was unscrew the old stick and screw this one on. I had some problems with the bolts backing out so I gues I'll get some Teflon tape in case it happens again.

thanks for all the responses guys. I put this on a stock shifter on my 01 Trans Am...what a difference for a lil over $30! I can't imagine putting more money in the shifter, i'm happy with this. Installation was easy but after 15 miles of driving the stick has some play in it so thats why i've been asking questions about teflon, etc. Thanks everybody!

I got a question about that stick. I noticed that its straight and not bent but I also notice that the holes where it mounts look to be machined at an angle. My question is, does the stick follow the same line as the shifter?
I have a B&M Ripper and I hate the stick that comes with it because it has such a severe bend in it that it makes me feel like Im shifting into the gear to the left of it.
