Default Short Throw Shifter Inastalled

I spent about an hour last night installing a B&M short throw shifter...hardest part was getting to the linkage underneath, I put the front up on my rhino ramps and jacked up the rear drivers side (man it would be nice to have jack stands).

Initial Impressions - It has a real nice feel to it, throw reduced from 3.9" to 2.75" which is a 30% reduction. You really don't feel that much difference in throw since OEM throw is so short to begin with...overall it should make for slightly quicker gear changes...I like it.

Purchased from GSC Motorsports in South Carolina.

Thats good to know. Its been a toss up between the B&M and the Rogue for a while with me. Wasnt keen on having to file bits away with the B&M and the reports of vibration at higher RPM under heavy load conditions. Was the fitting easy enough? and is there much work to be done with the file?
Appreciate your opinions.
