It pushes the lever a bit forward, but I can get it installed in about an hour. We tried another SSK (I don't think it was the UUC), we had issues with the bushing attaching to the selector shaft. Kinda a pisser.

If you must have an SSK, the OEM one works, but frankly, I'm not happy with the way the tranny handles the SSK. Maybe I need to do the CDV delete, but under load, the tranny just doesn't handle the faster shift of the SSK well. It tends to grind - like the syncros can't catch up.

I'm about to yank mine. I've had it for about a year or so. If you want it, PM me. I have it with the Alcantra boot and the special shift knob. Nothing wrong with it, works great, just going a different direction.
