twist on.
I have to fix it now but I probably won't need to send it back.
I AM going to e-mail Kartboy and complain. Maybe they'll send me some kandy.

The MSP **** is threaded differently, so you can't use it with the Kartboy (and probably others), and vice versa--you can't order the MSP ss without the MSP ****.
I am pretty sure about this...
BTW, Tom at Kartboy responded to my complaint immy--and offered to replace it no problem if need be...didn't offer me any candy or a t-shirt, though...

it makes no difference between the P5 and MSP because where you install the lever is the same. HOWEVER, although the msp **** has the same thread pitch, the height of the MSP **** is different than the stock ****. So you can use your P5 **** on the MSP shifter but there might be a gap between the bottom of the **** to the shifter. according to some people, you can just rubber band the top of the vinyl boot so that it covers the gap.
recommend the normal short shifter for sedan & protege5, MSP short shifter if you want to use the stock MSP ****. for the MP3 you will need to purchase a new ****. hope this helps, you might wanna email tom@kartboy.com if you have further questions, he replies super fast.

Yeah, I'm going to be ordering the **** anyway becasue I have an MP3 and I knew that the **** wouldnt work, but I was just wondering if you knew of any difference between the actual levers...So I guess I'll just order the MSP **** either way.
Thanks,
Scott
