just wondering if anybody has their's and feel shifting requires some effort?
it is not bad and no complaints about the product..
i just drove wrx, mazda 3 with aftermarket sts and shifter just fell into each gears, like playing with joysticks at arcade.

disassembled and used white litium grease and made a bit better but not as smooth as compared to stock.

I have had my Steeda short throw shifter for 7 years now and I have no complaints. It feels smooth and natural to me, although I forgot what the stock shifter feels like.
