i suggest you check out shorter weighted knobs first. ive done short shifters/bushings on previous cars so i know what benefits they offer. but the Z, nah. no need.

Too many people having to get synchro's replaced with a stock shifter for me to contemplate a short shifter...
I do plan on changing the knob eventually to improve the shifter with weight and a shorter height on the knob itself. But honestly, it's not my primary concern.
Didn't I read that short shifters work kinda crappy on these cars?...then if you buy a crappy one thats a double crap....
Yep I did read they are crappy ...just two of many quotes above.
