I have a feeling problems were encountered by everyone who tackled this for the MR IX. Short throw shifters aren't all that great anyway, especially on a car that has a reputation for a fragile 6spd tranny to begin with. There are plenty of other items for your car that are much more deserving of your lust.

I had a SSK on my last car, and to begin with it was incredibly stiff shifting. Thats pretty much mainly what Im looking for...The EVO shifter pops out of gear way too easily IMO.

That link you posted is a thread that mysteriously ends in July of 06
