UUC short shifter

I just installed the UUC Street EVO w/bearings today. This task was incredibly easy and took all of about 40 min. The only thing is that you should check before hand what kind of condition the shifters rubber boot is in. Mine was crumbling into little pieces so I have to run it w/o one till the one I just ordered comes in.
I cannot comment on any extra noise or vibration since I am running it w/o the boot but the throw is much shorter and the effort is only slightly increased. The shifter also feels more "notchy" now, sort of like when the car is brand new. I personally like that feeling.
This is a very easy install and fairly cheap around 200 with shipping to Hawaii.

Tools needed

1 mid sized flat blade screwdriver
2 small flat blade screwdriver (I used the two largest out of my precision set, this is for taking out the nylon cup and is easier to do than the included tool and they explain how to do this in the instructions)
1 jack
2 jack stands
wheel chocks for rear wheels
fine sandpaper (use is explained in instructions)
And about 45 to 90 min tops much less if you have any kind of experience working with the shifter and linkage.
