Is that all it is just those two pieces? I was expecting it to be like a complete short shifter assembly. Will the shifter be shorter or will it stay the same but reduce the throws?

I think it's something similar to the short shifter for the xD that NST makes.

From the first post, sounds like it's the same shifter, just the pieces underside of the boot will change. I'm looking to shorten my shifter too, not just the throws.

the shifter WILL stay the same. the 2 blocks change the pull/push ratio of the shift cables by changing the leverage point. i'd like mine shortened too and can do it at work, but i'd like to see how this helps things out first.

that would be sweet for the price, but i didn't see anything on sparks that said it came with one... but, when i get it, i'll let everyone know. i emailed ken from sparks today and he said that he's awaiting his shipment from the manufacturer and then he'll ship mine (and i'm sure a bunch of others) out.

I doubt that it will come with a new **** seeing that the first post says it uses the OEM lever and ****.

well this "quick shifter" doesn't change anything on the interior of the car.. so the lever will be at the same height. it just changes how long the throw is at the actual transmission end

Here's a link to the install pdf from trdsparks:
