^^ Dofu, I was wondering about that. It's my first manual tranny car, and I've notice the shifter vibrates SO much....and sometimes, it can be so violent you have to take your hand off of it for a second....Maybe i'm just a punk.....

I was looking at that...I just dont like how the car shifts...it takes way too long to put into gear, and it sometimes "sticks"..not really, but its not very smooth if you know what I mean? Hard to explain since It's my first manual..Ive been driving for 3 months now..and i'm good at it, but It just is annoying..there's gotta be a mod to make shifting more enjoyable/smoother....like bushings? or what?? my buddies evo IX that i drove a few weeks ago..OMG< that thing is a freaking DREAM to drive (not talking about all that wonderful power from the turbo) but the shifting is SOOO nice (and it's a much longer shifter) than ours...

Actually, we had stopped selling these a year ago, and sold the last of our inventory to 350Evo.com. Although there may still be a market, we had to rethink this product because we were not willing to sacrifice quality for price.

After getting asked for a YEAR to make them, we are remaking our famed SSK in limited quantities. Anticipated delivery is August 2009, but preorders are being accepted.

We had a small price increase since 3 years ago, but the quality is the same that people expect from our product.

the nismo version is actually a good setup with one exception, they replaced the poly type bushing in the stock unit with a cheap rubber bushing that deteriorates rather quickly. a co-worker had one in his 350z and it was nice, he did play with the adjustment portion every once in a while, but that was mostly because he could. It wasnt noisey either.

i also noticed that Buddyclub makes a short shifter that seems pretty straight forward and its priced around the $125 mark.

Had my Rouge for well over a year and still love it. Mine's not notchy and doesn't rattle like the B&M after awhile I read in reviews way back then.

Watch it on weighted *****. Too heavy can mess up tranny with too many hard quick shifts over time.
