I tried and moved it around... at one point I tried to remove the ssk so I could look at the post and see if something was wrong with and the thing was stuck on and would not be removed... then I dropped the freakin' pin! Thank God It dropped into the body work and not into the snow or I'd never have found it... I finally after trying and wiggling, it worked! I was thinking 'oh great, hope the other installs go better then this!lol I've yet to drive it but a quick run through the gears seems pretty cool... Can't wait to drive it but in the snow I wont be pushing it much until they clear the streets...

err um... I'm not sure what you're asking. If you mean "what does the short shift kit do?", then I would say that a short shift kit shortens the distance between gears on the gear shift, allowing you to change gears quicker with less time engaging the clutch. You can pop it into the next gear faster and get back on the throttle... It also feels better, more like a sports car with less slop while switching gears. So far I like it a lot, and I think I might give it the full NST treatment with bushings and the in-cockpit kit...
