edit: p.s. no, I'm not a fan of Dells, I just happen to be using one because my thinkpads are upstairs :P

I dunno, like 15 dollars, 20 shipped if we can't meet up to exchange goods (and services
)? I have no clue what it is 'worth' really.

I would like to say it's priceless (I loved it so dearly) but I have rethreaded my shifter (and greddy ****) so I can't actually go back to the stock **** anymore.

Not to hamper the pending sale, but I switched from the stock P5 **** to the heavier MSP **** and it made shifting noticeably smoother.
It counteracts the increased notchiness of my TWM shifter bushings.

yeah I got my greddy **** because it makes the MSP **** feel like a feather, so of course it has a drastic effect on shifting feel. with the twm shifter (earliest gen) and kartboy bushings it was still fine with the stock **** though, just easier throws now.

MSP? Is that the standard **** from a protege? what does that look like? I just purchased a kartboy short shifter, and bushings. I haven't had a chance to put them on the P5, although I hope that makes shifting a little smoother.

no the MSP **** is just a Sparco Techno
later models said "mazdaspeed" on top and had like.. yellow and stuff on the top sticker (with shift pattern)
people have issues with the leather coming loose and spinning around on the ****. Not sure if there's a simple fix or if it affects all of them though
