Need some feedback on Stillen short shifter

Just got a stillen short throw shifter as an early Christmans present and want some feedback on it before I install it. I asked in the 3rd gen forums but they have other brands, I'de like some feedback on the stillen unit specifically on any gen since its the same part number.

Thanks,
Diego

The throws are very, very short. There is no play in the shifter. First to neutral is one snick, then neutral to second is another snick. My brother has one on his 2K1, so that's how I know. It's more notchy than stock though. It'll defenitely take some getting used to.

It's stock height, with very short throws. I have one, and I personally think it’s better than Pacestter, and B&M. The B&M & Pacesetter felt very notchy, and hard to get into gears. The Stillen doesn’t have that feel it like stock
