Message	waited all week to install my short shifter. Finally went out tonight to install it. Got the stocker out pretty easily, got the short shifter in pretty easily. Go to put it into each gear to see how it feels, and it will only go into 1st and 3rd. Go figure. So after a little while longer of trying to see why it's doing this, I came to the conclusion it's a POS. So my stocker is back in and my money is wasted. What's up with that !?!?!?!
