New short throw shifter installed :)
Finally got all the parts I needed to do the install.
You might remember the shifter when I first got it
Then I found out it would be wise to upgrade the transmission sleeve to a bronze one (the stock is a plastic one prone to breaking)
Then I just needed the weekend, and a relatively warm day, which I just HAD.
Here's the crappy crappy long and sloppy stock shifter:
Removed my center console (boy was the car filthy under here)
The old shifter came right off, dropped the new bronze sleeve in:
Get the new shifter on there!!!
And put it alllll back together
CLASSIC
I have a lot of getting used to with this thing. It is very strong, and very stiff. I missed 3rd gear a couple times trying to quickly shift this thing. They say it's a 40% shorter throw, it feels almost 70% shorter!!! I don't even feel like I have gone down into 2nd when I am in it.
New learning curve, I love it

Thanks everyone!
New shift boot... I would like it, but I'm not here to spend a lot on this car. I'm only having it for a year or 2 while the 2010/2011 gets a little cheaper
