Ya that helps a lot. Is the install of the cable bushings just as the same as the one's in the tech section? (NST or Cor Sport USA)

I'll be ordering the premium pack this coming Monday Doc. Just to let you know I'll be keeping my stock shifter ( will need it for later when I sell the car). How long you think it will take to get to Houston, TX 77083?

How long should be the instalation (so we know how much a mechanich should charge to instal it)?

Also, it would be very nice if someone who is buying and installing it on their own posted instructions with pics for us noobs.

Anywhere to see how to install the cage and cable bushings?
Instructions would be nice.. I think I've decided on this shifter, probably wait till it gets a tad warmer to buy though so I don't freeze my a$$ outside.

Think you'll have full instructions for installing the premium STS by mid april?

I only got two words to say about cable bushings.. DO IT!!! And Doc has them made out of delrin, which is a magical material composed mostly of cheetah hair and fish bones.

If the 2.5" feels to short, I can easily spin you up a **** with 1" or 1.5" or added height (like a no-relief Type-R or Nismo). I spin up new ***** all the time to tinker with the **** height.
