Default Yup, buy a new rod (just in case)

it's only ~$20 at the dealer. Basically, you cut the rod 1" to 1.5". If you have a stock shift ****, you'll have to re-thread it to make it work. I have a Momo ****, so I had no worries. Just doa search for the "Innovator Shifter" or "Innovator shift mod" & you'll be set. Good luck!

been running this for a little over a month. took a little time getting used to the lower shifter, but it's smooooooth (never could get my UUC @40% + spacer mod to feel this smooth, esp. 2nd gear)<ul><li><a href="http://www.funkadelic.org/gallery/oem_shifter_mod">http://www.funkadelic.org/gallery/oem_shifter_mod</a</li></ul>

Default yes

about 1" shorter like jyoteen said ;-)

seriously though, it doesn't feel as short as my UUC @ 40% did but i *think* it's somewhere in the 25-30% range. but it i'm glad to give up the shorter throw for the smoother OEM feel
