Hello,

I installed one of these on my '84 last year after driving without one for
12 years.  Because you can get used to anything, I found the change quite a
surprise.  But yes, I like it.

I think that perhaps I bought a little more than Joel did though.  Gene
Berg recommends both the short shift kit and a shift extension be installed
at the same time.  The net result are throws about the same length as
before, but the shift lever about 6 inches higher.  You could argue that it
would be hard to put the shift lever in a more convenient place.  It's
right up by the steering wheel, so the third gear reach is level and not
down, so it's not a stretch like before.
