What is the best short shifter for coupe?

I'm trying to get something more reliable, great quality and for a lot shorter shifts. What should I get?

I keep hearing that rogue is the best and has less noise than B&M. But I can't find it anywhere to purchase it, Any suggestions on what are the most economic places to purchase it from? Or even if it's not the most economic, any place at all because I can't find it anywhere.

Also I was wanting to get a clutch as well, When you install the SS do you have to remove or mess with the clutch in anyway?? because If you do I was just going to buy both at once.

Any suggestions on what is the best clutch to buy for someone who is not an expert at driving manual, but beats up the clutch a lot?

I ordered my short shifter directly from rogue about a week ago. They have stopped production but seem to still have some left in stock. Better give them a call before they run out!

Same here. My wife just drove my car for the first time the other day and she loved the Rogue SSK. It falls in the right gear all the time. She didn't think it was hard to change gears either.

Ok so I'm convinced to get the Rogue. But WHERE!?! lol, I've been looking all over and I found one at www.rogueengineering.com called NIS_350Z_SSK
for the 350Z, do you think it will fit the ANY year G35 ?? Plus I don't even think they have it in stock, any suggestions of where to purchase it from?

Also when installing a short shifter, did you purchase anything additional like a shifter cup, brackets, anything at all?? Or just the shifter?

you dont have to mess with the clutch when your putting in the ss. When you are putting in your clutch though you will have to take all of that crap back out so I would just put that in when you get your clutch.
