Story time...

Well it was a pretty boring night, the car crew I chill with just got raped by cops the night before, practically raided us and gave massive amount of tickets and made examples of a few people with the warning to never come back to our meet up spot of a few years so far. I was at my friends house along with another friend and we were sitting around messing around with the Wii, listening to music, and looking at car related things online when I came up with the random idea to install the NST SSK. I have had this piece for over 4 months now and it sat in my center console for all that time due to my laziness and after a while I kind of just forgot about it.

We decided why not and got to work using this DIY as guidance. First off, I would like to say, GREAT WRITE UP! It helped us greatly step by step and was very clear for us to follow. From the moment it was in and we got to the section where it says to screw the shift **** on and try every gear before reassembling, the difference shocked us as we didnt expect it to really change as much as it did.

Needless to say, THANKS NST for such a great SSK, I personally love how it kept the OEM height despite some reactions from friends questioning why I didnt go with a shorter one. I wouldnt trade it, it works perfectly and the difference in feel and throw is amazing!

I had a blast hitting the streets for a test drive with the SSK on, now I am ready for the turbo thats coming in the next week or so! Overall great product, definitely one of my more favorite modifications

CRAP, when i was putting my shift boot console back in...one of the plastic clips on the bottom broke, so now the piece isnt flush. Anyone know where i can get a replacement and how i would go about reinstalling the clip?

Ouch. Sounds like you may need to try a local dealer or a junk yard for that one.

Good luck

After installing the SSK, when shifting or down shifting does the angle of the shifter sit the same once you have completed the shift, just as before the SSK???

no the angle is not the same because the shift length is reduced. itll be less angle. basically, its like if normally it takes 5 inches from 1st gear to shift to 2nd gear...now it takes like 3 inches. so youll end your shifts 1 inch sooner than before.

Thank you for the interest in our site and products, we appreciate it.

Unfortunately we can not lower the price on this kit at the moment. Our kit is one of the easiest to install, if not THE easiest, is one of the best performing, and one of the cheapest options available.

Thanks again

Ha ha. I didn't think so. I planned on ordering soon, just waiting for my next check. Thought I'd give it a shot.

the only problem i had with this kit was that i was driving one day and my only worry about this kit in the beginning was that it uses the screws to tighten to the rod. As i shifted one day on the street back home the shifter came out of hte socket and once again i had to call the tower to move my car and reopen my shifter to place it back in

Glad to hear you're OK. A little bit of loc-tite goes a long way and is highly recommended.
