Go with Kartboy if for nothing else, the customer service. Tom will treat you right plus he frequents this forum. I have the Kartboy "super combo" and couldn't be happier with it.

eggynatey: how much did your set up cost you? did you install it yourself? thanks.

Welcome to the club, by the way
Yeah, I installed it myself. It took about an hour. If you have a floor-jack and some snap-ring pliers, it oughta be a cakewalk.

There's a really good how-to on this site, it's for the TWM, but the install's pretty much universal.http://www.twmperformance.com/shortshifters/index.htm
First "click for details" then click on "install manual"

There was a group-buy going on for $105US, but I guess you missed the boat.
Don't pay more than $135US for the shifter, knob and bushings("super-combo"). Spoolin' is where I bought mine- the ad that's probably at the top of this page- and they treated me great!
