NST shortshifter

Well, if I hear one more person has an issue after install...that **** will be on eBay. But honestly if it is junk, I'd feel bad even selling it to a fellow Z owner.

Im going to install it on the gal this weekend. I can't knock it until I try it...

Will do.

Iv had mine for about 2 weeks and it sucks!!! I had a specialty shop that only works on Z's do the install and they called me and told me "the SS you bought is a pos"
Literally the words that came out of their mouths. It has no reverse lockout, and 4th to 5th is terrible. I hate it with a passion. Save your money and buy TWM

All this information may have been relevant and helpful several weeks ago. eBay it is!

I really hope this isn't a trash product. If it is, I'll gladly return it and go with another reputable company.

Yep absolutely sure everything is installed correctly. It's just not for me. Much more positive shifts with the stock shifter.

This shifter isn't bad... It's terrible. I'd rather weld a dildo to the transmission and shift with that...

I just requested a refund. No way after these reviews Im spending my money on this.

Not sure how this is relevant or even all that factual although its your personal opinion so your welcome to it. The area of town he is in is cheap to run a business from yes...especially if 95% of your business is over the internet. On that note....Its hard to keep prices down on parts and pay for an amazing facility at the same time...especially if you don't really need the fancy storefront.

Ive personally known Mike since 2009 and have had no issues with him at all. I certainly dont think that he is shady in the slightest and have left my car with him for various projects over the years.

When it comes down to quality i think of NST, i have had the NST pulleys on my car since nearly day 1 and i have logged over 45,000 miles with them with 0 issues.

I had said, when i first reviewed this, that the ssk hung slightly going into 5th from 4th but only when i pushed hard far right then up instead of going over and up quickly...perhaps that comes down to individual shiting habits? Im not sure.

Ill take more pictures of the wear on the AMS this weekend and then when i follow up at 5k and 10k ill make sure to capture the wear to the NST.

In the end, after reading this thread, it seems a lot of people are just in the rage mode. The TWM knob costs 5 times more than the NST one which in my opinion is still, price for performance, the best bang for the buck on the market.

I have the NST SSK on my car and intend to leave it there. As planned, ill pull it all apart at around 5k miles and see how the wear on it compared to the wear i saw on the SSK i previously had installed.

Because the guy who seemed somewhat shady when I dealt with him is engaging in shady behavior here? Group buys that never deliver, not paying fees but still taking people's money through the site, shifters that apparently have issues.
