I guess ill write my review on this shifter , since ive been meaning to...
Ive had my Mossy Shoftshifter for 5 months now ... At first, you will notice a BIG difference between the stock shifter.. A lot smoother, easier to shift, etc ... The different settings were cool (stock, 20% longer than stock, 20% shorter, and 40% shorter) , but sometimes a pain to switch .. but not a big deal.
For myself personally, Ive been experiencing 2 major problems with it.
1) When shifting into different gears, you hear a "buzzing" sound ... I dont know why it does that.. but it gets really annoying some times .. It is really most noticeable when doing into 2nd gear ... but it does it on all gears nonetheless..
2) .. Now this is the big one ... The shifter has been getting REALLY stiff recently for the past 2 months ... And what i mean by that is ... Normally you can play around with the shifter , moving it left and right, very easily and it should return back to the center ... But on many occasions, its very hard to move it left and right ... It is so stiff some times, when you move it all the way to the right and let go .. it just stays there ... (And does not come back to center) ..
But for some reason, after not driving the Z for a while, it'll return to normal ...
Right now, i put back my old stock shifter and e-mailed Greg @ mossy (the person who i spoke to) to see if they will honor their warranty .. he has not replied to my email yet ...
When i looked at the mossy shifter again after i replaced my stock one .. I noticed that it is not very smooth to move the metal rod around the ball where revolves around of (compared to the stock one ... which was very smooth) .. This might be a manufacture defect, i dont know ... I'll find one when he replies to my email .. (hopefully). .I figured why it is not smooth is because when we drive the car, heat expands the plastic .. which makes it a lot harder to move around .. (And i have greased the ball on several occasions, but it did not help)
My main reason why i purchased this short shifter (or the grounding kit) . . was because i was looking for smoother shifts ... I really despite that notchy feeling when shifting into the gears which it does very often. . . And from one of the reviews by chachi999999999 ... I was convinced it would make my life a lot easier .. (he made it sound like ... well, he said the shifts were like a hot knife going through butter) .. The shifter does that to some extent, but overall, i would stick with the stock shifter. .
