It improves the driving feel alot, is easier on the tranny, and can be changed back easily if so desired. Have fun with her and we're here to help.
A friend of mine recommended the short throw shifter and he and his son installed one on his Cobra (pre 03). I'll consider it for sure, but right now I love the feel and position of the stock shifter.

I know I'll never have to look twice to find my car in a parking lot.

Thanks for the advice.
