B&M megashifter

anybody use one of these? its a direct console fit unit 175 bucks. does it make driving an automatic more enjoyable? i wish my car was stick but most thirdgens are autos. i dont know why either, automatics are boring and just dont give a performace car feel.

What purpose does a Shift Kit like that serve?

Axle/Gears: huh?? guessing stock.
yea that was in the product review forum. it was hard because the cable that comes with the shifter in the box is 5 feet long and you only need a 2.5 - 3 foot one. with the long one you have to loop it around on top of the tranny to eat the slack, and then it causes a bit if binding. Also some people didn't enlarge the hole the cable goes through into the trans tunnel causing the angle to be to steep and once again.... Causes binding.
