I have been tracking my car for 6-7 years and recently swithced to a Stillen linkage. I wanted to shift faster over stock. I am very disappointed in the purchase because the shifter is really stiff and knotchie. Downshifting from third to second is the most difficult shift; Upshifting from fourth to fifth is the next most difficult. It takes muscle and accuracy. I have had the shifter out three times working over the bushings to loosen them up but, while better, is is still difficult.
