Message	I recently had a spot of trouble with my short shifter. While my car is down, I got a loaner stock shifter from Dallas DamonZ to keep my car on the road. God forbid I miss the great boosting weather we've been having here in Dallas over the past couple of weeks. Well, I installed the SPL Bronze shifter bushings in the loaner shifter, figuring it'd retain some crispness. Well ... ITS LIKE DRIVING A FREAKIN ROWBOAT. After having a short shifter for 3 yrs, I grew used to the precise, sporty feel. I can't believe how you guys with stock shifters put up with it. I swear the throws are almost as long as my 96 Dakota beater truck. I don't care what kind you get. Get a Woody, get a Silvertwin, get a Stillen, get a C's, get a Top Speed, get an Ebay special. I don't care. Get a short shifter. You'll thank me later. This has been a public service announcement from your local Guapo. And thanks to Guapo... I got my first ride in a Twinturbo... at speed... on a race track. I'll just say 'Damn' and leave it at that.- Tu 09/13/04 12:03:59
