Well I have the rr racing shifter in my turbo car and I love it. I was just seeing if anyone had tried the fidanza one.

I have one too sitting in my room. Under_flip installed one, this is what he PM'd me when I asked about it, helpful information:

Another thing is I tossed the stock plastic snap ring that was holding the stock shifter in place (there is a plastic snap ring and a metal one) I kept the metal one, but it was pretty trickey to fit back in...although it did go in. It feels nice though...it takes some getting used to though, because the throw is cut back by at least 40%. Its almost like a "flick of the wrist" to shift now.

Just remember to LOAD it up with white grease when you install it.
JamesP also has one, you can PM him and ask him what he thinks.
