Shifter throws...

N55 stock = 70 mm's
N54 stock = 80 mm's
N54 w/Perf SSK = 55 mm's


I really think you could just use/order the Perf shift lever arm and get 80% for the SSK feel. Or... IF you really wanted to do it right... order the N54 perf SSK. Someone needs to get some balls and just go ahead and try it.

There was one SSK for the 1M (I forget who was selling it.. it might have been Turner ?) and they were using the N54 cross bar/cradle that the shifter lever sits on. Then they just used their inhouse shift lever with their "kit". They wanted close to $500 for that.
Dack, was it the UUC kit from Turner I listed above? It's a SSK with a replacement selector arm from TMS for $480. I don't see any others that are direct replacements for the N55 OEM unit
