Default Stratmosphere vs Neuspeed Short Shifter -- Which is easier to install yourself???

Can anyone who actually installed one of these short shifters comment on the degree of difficulty for installation? I read reviews on here for both and they both seem to work well. Any comments on how well they work is welcome also. I don't want something thats too much shorter than stock.

thank you

Default The stratmosphere SS looks oem when installed, so the height is the same

Default Degree of Difficulty is subjective...However, if yer good mechanically and have ...

experience working w/tools &amp; such...
IMO, (1-10), 10 being very difficult, I'd give it a 4...Right tools are a must.

As for which is more difficult, can only speak for Neu &amp; AMS...They are about the same.

As for quality of materials &amp; design of kit, AMS gets my vote over Neu. (eventhough, I have Neu).

Shorter than Stock ??? I believe your referring to **** height. Neu is about 1" shorter than stock, which I kinda like. I believe AMS (6spd) retains the original stock height. As for Strat, Idunno.

Hope this helps

Default Throw Reduction: AMS=25 or 40%, Neu=35% & Strat=20 or 40% (m)

Forgot to ask what motor &amp; trans you have?
The above reductions are based on 6spd.
And Your Welcome
