are you guys working on a short throw shifter for the 2008 in a similar design to the previous model shifters? i know its very new yet, but if you made one, i would recommend it to a friend who just got an 08 without hesitation.

believe it is the same.

negative, i know for a fact that there is at least one difference, and by feeling it, i would guess there are more. the stock 08 has no reverse lockout, i don't think the knob would work like the pre-08.

also, it feels taller than the stock 02.5+ but its been a while since i felt that shifter.

at the very least they would need to slightly modify the knob and maybe the threading at the top, and then there is the shifter base and clearance issues that could be different. maybe my friend will let me pull up the shift boot to see it.

It was 06-07 that lacked the lockout.
