Tomorrow I am having the FRPP KR short throw installed with KR handle. I have heard nothing but great things about this shifter so I will update in a few days and let you know what my impressions are.

zporta,

All I can say from my first impression driving with the FRPP KR short throw and handle is WOW! I highly recommend it, it was the best $300 I spent so far (that is price for shifter and handle). This is where I got it and this is what I paid:

Tousley Ford (dealt with Kevin)
Tousley Ford parts depot selling all OEM Ford and Ford Racing parts 10% over dealer cost.

Call at 1-800-328-9552 ask for Steve or Kevin.

3.73 Gears M-4209-F373N 132.00
KR Short Throw Shifter M-7210-B 162.80
KR Shift Handle (Black) K-7213-J(I think this was the #, it took awhile for Kevin to find it) 118.80
Gear Installation Kit M-4210-A 31.90

PLUS S&H

The shop I took my car today did the gear and shifter install for about $335 ($85 for the shifter). Good luck on whatever you go with.
