It is a rod-only short throw, so I'm not sure how much it really does. kc2002acr has one. He could chime up as to what the difference is that it makes.

I HAD one, took it off in place for the Mopar STS... honestly, I would never get another rod-only because the difference in shifting is great! But, on the plus side, Fidanza made a fine product. If you are bent on getting one, I have one and will sell it for half the ebay price (mainly because it is 2 yrs old) - $30 shipped.

I can't complain about it other than the fact that if you have booger bushings, you will have to turn one bushing around since they made the bottom part of the rod face the opposite way as stock

I did however feel a difference in shift when compared to the mopar STS... The mopar is a much higher quality piece, but the fidanza works. If you want cheap, do this one, if you want quality spend the money and go for the maddog - I heard it is one of the best! And you get lots of % to choose from.

Maddog = A+
Mopure = A
Hurst = B
Mopar = B-
All rod-only = C-

...at least that's what I gather from what I read. I have none of the above (yet). The only reason I would buy Hurst would be for looks. The only reason I would buy anything other than Maddog or Mopure, would be price (someone selling used really cheap).

according to maddog's site ... he can custom make the handle how ya want .. so can end up with the same looks as a hurst
