I've done both.
SS was a big difference made even better with a weighted knob and different fluid. I am considering shortening the top side as well.
Also changed the bushings, my mind says there was a difference but I don't know. I changed them when the car was really new so the existing bushings were not sloppy. It's a cheap mod.

No, it mounts to the bottom of the shifter and makes it longer.

Installing the short shifter, and the slave cylinder checkvalve remove was the best mods i did to the car. I have a weighted shiftknob, and the corsport bushings also. But the biggest difference was the ss itself, then the next weekend i did the checkvalve removal, i realized why i love the TL so much.

I got a CT SS and I love it! I also cut about an inch out from right under the threaded part then re-welded so I keep the treads! It's a little heavy but SHORT throw.

With the new solid bushings, how did you guys get the old ones out? I tried but they were snug and couldn't get the retaining clip off. Any pictures and tips would be much appreciated as i've had mine sitting around for like 6 months now.

As it notes, there is a snap ring. I had the right tool so it was simple.

Pearl 2 - 08 TL TypeS MT
CT shifter
I got mine installed. Mad Mod!! But i think I did it 2 soon after I bought the car bcauz now i think there's 2 much heat coming into the console area from the engine bay. Its fine with the ac on but without......, I think the console and shifter area are 2 warm. But honestly I'm not even sure if it was like that b4 i installed the CT shifter and the weapon R intake. Temp gauge ok tho. Need help!!!! Is this normal???!!. Did the ppl who i had install the shifter do something wrong?? Taking it back 2 the dealer for other minor issues. Wanted to kno.

Relax kid!!!. I read in a thread here on AZine even b4 i got my car where som1 was having a similar problem with heat coming in after installing the CT shifter themselves. Just cant find the thread now that i'm facing the same problem. B ez

I am relaxed. That probably happens because the heater tube for the back seat area isn't attached properly so the warm air escapes into the console area. This is just a thought. I didn't install the short shifter but I did take that apart and I almost didn't put it back right.

Thanx a lot for the thought. Now I can approach the dealer with a little more knowledge. I really think it was negligence on the install tho so they probably didn't do it for real

Unfortunately i didnt know about these when i did my ss but it my be worth the while to install these. Decent upgrade for the price.

These are relatively easy to install and compliment the ss nicely, i got the aluminum ones, i believe there are brass ones now but for me to make the change would be pointless i think.
Good luck.
P.s. you gotta do the slave cylinder mod to tie this project together, thats the big cherry on top. I promise you will fall in love with your teansmission.

Thanx a lot Loco. I'll definitely get them. U said it would make the shifts tighter but they're pretty rigged right now? Still get em?. I just got my TL a couple weeks ago and I've been inspired by members like you on this forum and I wanna do everything to make this car eeeeven more perfect. The sig says what i've done so far but....... I live in NYC and these city streets are pretty ruff on the suspension. Can i change anything to make the ride smoother and more "girl in car" friendly. I had planned to get 18s or 19s from the jump, but i think that's only gonna make the ride worse if the 17s feel this way. NEED help! Is that really the norm or should I have my stock shocks replaced by the dealer. Got it with 29+k. Read the reviews and heard the sport suspension is ruff on city streets but I'm wondering if it's this bad.
