[s-cars] Short Shifter Comparison

[TMULLANE at snet.net]

Chris,

I'm running Alex's SS.  At the time I did the swap, I 
wasn't driving the car much and did not notice a big 
difference at first.  However, after driving the 
Coupe (which used to feel the same as the S) I can 
really tell the difference.  My shifter is set to 
reduce throw 15%.  

Whatever you do, take the opportunity to fill the 
shift rod with lead.  It greatly improves shift feel 
too.  In addition to some buckshot that Paul K 
donated, I cut up some old wheel weights into 
slivers, dropped them into the shaft, and melted the 
whole mess with a torch.

BTW, Alex replaces all the bushings too.  This alone 
is worth the money and effort.

I am debating between the Europrice and Bilzcat SS 
kits. I can have my car
down for a few days without a problem. I dont mind 
sending the core into Alex,
etc.

Which one has the better materials? Which one has the 
better feel?

Any other pros and cons?

Thanks,
Chris
