i am interested in you shifter for the 8th gen chassis. do you still carry it and could you send me a price. i had a hell of a time trying to find it this was the only thread i found that listed it. anybody out there that has it post some reviews. HR could you make a thread dedicated to this part with specs please.
I have it in my fg2. I can't say much more than I love it. Once you see it in person, it's definitely worth the money, no doubt. Great quality and I'm sure it can take some abuse.
I've had it for about 10 months and haven't had a single issue. I played with the adjustment for a couple weeks and locked/unlocked the adjustment screws dozens of times, without a problem with the threads or anything. Once I had it set the way I wanted it I pretty much just switch between a tall knob with an extension and a short ball type knob when I'm just riding around town. The height is adjustable, I just use the extension on the tall knob to keep from needing to carry a hex key around when I'm out on the back roads, and want the taller shifter.
Anyway, it's definitely an improvement over stock. You don't need shifter base bushings with it. I plan to get the cables too, even though I can't imagine how it will feel better than it does now.
Just to add, I have a 08, and according to the VIN I have a tranny that shouldn't have the 3rd gear issue. I've never had it pop out, and I never had the high RPM 2nd gear grind. So I can't comment on rather or not this would help with that. Honestly I can't see how it would, but I've seen a lot of people commenting that cable bushings, base bushing etc, helped them. I never had issues with the oem or this set up. Just throwing that out there.
