As the rennlist community is really awesome in terms of technical knowledge, I would very much appreciate your thoughts on such an endevour.
EXPENSIVE!

I know the question wasn't at me, but I did the **** first and want to have some time on it before adding the GT4 shifter. I wanted to be able to isolate what added what. I find the **** is a really nice improvement to how solid the connection to the shaft is and the feel. Is the stock one plastic? Feels very thin, didn't take it apart though. Put it away in case I ever need to put it back.
