I've seen the new setup. Machine work is nice with a spherical bearing.

New short shift design eliminates the need for the front shift rod and ball cup. That's huge!

Jim,

You are correct new shifter eliminates the ballcup and front shift rod.

H,
The OP has a 84> so 85< short shifters will not work for his car I am afraid.

Was there a product release thread on Rogers kit?

Anybody got a link to the goodies?

It may be something I want to look into for my 928 project.

No product release just yet.
I have all the parts and just need to print the instructions.
By the way it is flying out the door I don't need any product announcement 8>)
