i don't see how they tear up your transmission but i have the perrin on mine but i do have a dogbox so i don't know the effect it would have on the stock transmission but they are easy to install

it can tear up a trans with synchros... hkswrx needs to specify or listen to me better ....

if you shorten the linkage to shift, the throws change, hence the short throw... if the throw is shorter, you can shift quicker, therefore not allowing the synchros to speed up, i.e rev match....

ryan, your dogbox need not worry i think youve got that thing tough enough

ive got the SPT short throw.. it isnt too much different than the stocker, but it came with the car... i have a few tranny and rearend problems, but i doubt highly that they are from the short throw...

you bought it.. i dont forsee it causing too many problems if any. but hey, if your scared, sell it.. if you want to try, put that sucker on....

and youll need a lightweight rubber mallet, and some lube for that bad boy, if you are going to do it yourself~
