RP/AFE short throw shifter installed

If you were considering this part and have the $250 to spend, get it.
I installed mine in about 45 minutes once I had the right tools here (it's a funny read in the lounge if you want). If anyone needs help with the install or wants to try before they buy, let me know.

You will not be disappointed.

The install literally takes between 10 and 30 minutes. 10mm long socket is absolutely crucial.
It's a snap.
