I have one. It worked very nice. Short throw and a taller lever - just what I wanted. Just took it out and replaced with a Cobb SS. Result - short throw and a taller lever. The Cobb is more adjustable and slightly sturdier feeling. The set screw on the Perrin would sometimes loosen and cause the lever to fall back to the lowest (ie longest) setting. This happened just twice in a year. Otherwise no problems. It works good with the bushings.

Overall I would say a good value. I'll sell you mine.

I have it and it has worked pretty well, except for the set screws loosening up every now and then. If you get it, use a boatload of blue loc-tite on 'em. I like it. Shorter throw, taller shifter FTW. Why would someone want to have to reach further away to shift?
