Yes we'll have the STi shifter late this week early next week
we did the final test on the SCC STi saturday and everything went great.

A post on nasioc a while back and another member here I wont incriminate, though I would LOVE to have an option other than the big expensive assembly change out

This thread is the first I've heard of a problem. I installed a Kartboy short shifter on my 5MT about a year ago and have had no issues. I think this story about premature wear is more of an urban legend than fact-based.
