My shipping for the short shifter was just 10 bucks. Are you sure you didn't select 2 day shipping? But yea calling them is your best bet, they have great customer service. I called about those shifter bushings and they said it wouldn't come with this package, so I ordered them separate for 15 dollars more. Still not a bad deal.

they say that you need a OEM EVO Shifter Retainer if you dont want to cut the factory shifter is that true? wich bushings did you order the 8pc Poly Stiff Shifter Bushings : Lancer EVO 8 ?

yeah i agree
after placing my order, i forgot to add the bushings on, so i sent an email to add it (seperate order would be loads more to ship). kati wrote me back saying NO U CANT DO IT ITS TOO LATE OMGZ, so I then went onto the live chat with elaine. she added them and said she would rub it in kati's face for me.

there's gonna be some steps you skip, like the spray button and top mounting bracket replacement. i opened up word, copied it over, made it nice and pretty with numbered bullet points and shrunk the pics.

I haven't done it yet but from what I've heard and from studying the how-to it should be a pretty easy install. You always run into parts that don't wanna come off etc, but with any patience I think a child could install a short shifter

I had a big problem with shifting when i was drag racing but I bought one of these for my '03 ( much thanks to Amby ) and i f0cking LOVE it !!! I bought the bushings as well.
It was a little tricky on the install, but it makes huge difference. The shift are solid and crisp and i couldn't be happier with it. I can't tell you about the 04's n up, but these fit the 02 & 03 just fine. Well worth the money IMO.

Can't wait to get off work and get it installed

this thing is super cool. installation took about 2 hours, only because i forgot how the spring gets put back on the front bolt of the bracket. MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBER. shifting is super fun now, and with their shift knob, this thing is lowered so much compared to the stock one. Installing the metal shift base bushings was a snap.
FYI, I am now selling my stock shifter and knob w/bushings if anyone is in need.
