Message	Here are my thoughts on the Z1 shifters. The good: -New, some people like new shinny stuff (although you can't see it once installed) -roller bearing (if you do not over tighten the bushing bolt). IMHO the bad: -Their new pivot ball plastic cage and retainer ring are cheap, main reason the shifter drops when they fall apart. I bought a couple new sets from a local for OEM rebuilds and they are garbage. -The rubber grease seals are less then OEM quality, Ive had 2/3 new rip when installing, even with a little bit of heat and grease. -Little tricky to install because of the 2 extra washers for the lower bushing and the shifter can be over tightened.(note: I have only installed one of these Z1 shifters) -Over priced for what it is. (again IMHO)
