I put in comptech's short shifter and it's awesome. But neuspeeds looks to be the exact same set up...What does neuspeed claim to reduce throw by? Comptech is about 38%.

8% is arbitrary really IMO. I like my Comptech set up and I trust Comptech for the best fitting parts. However; Neuspeed is a good company with a good reputation. So, I guess the decision is over 19$ not quality or throw reduction. Just my .02

And when it comes time to take the white plastic cap off the bottom of the stock shifter, don't bother w/ the 13 mm wrench idea. I was screaming bloody murder in my garage trying to get it off w/ the 13 mm wrench. Just take a flathead screwdriver in the gap and push it off, and put some padding on the shifter housing for when the cap suddenly gives way and you jam your index finger into the housing.

I used the tool from Comptech and just pushed down as if I was doing a push up. Popped right off with all my weight on it. But it is a PITA and can definitely relate.
