How to make the shifter better?
Yeah, that package is good. I probably would've gone with that if I didn't buy everything seperately
If you want to make it a little bit more complete, you should get this:

After installing it, I could "feel" the gates more. It added a more positive feel to the shifter.
Some people experience lockouts or notchiness when going WOT and shifting. A stiffer front motor mount will help with that. I have one installed in my car and it makes WOT shifting buttery smooth. However, it will add cabin vibrations and you will especially feel it when you run AC. I use the 70A durometer AMS front motor mount.

If you want to tighten up the shifter even more, you can get the TWM cage for the Evo X. I don't have it installed on my car nor do I feel it's necessary for daily driving

Ohh wow okay thanks! I used to have motor mounts on my old car and it annoyed the hell out of me. I would be vibrating so much at stop lights and stuff lol. Dont plan on doing those ever again!
Personally I think they look better then the round ones lol
I had the blox490 on my car. Thing weighs a ton and I loved it haha. For ****s and giggles the one day I put back on the stock knob and shifting just was not as smooth. I def suggest the blox490. Also I had the works short shifter w/ both bushing. No complaints here at all with that setup especially since it brings neutral where 2nd gear is stock basically. Here good reviews on both works and TWM though. I would stick with one of those.

I have the GR>G Heavy Wheight carbon fiber knob...its 1.1 lb...and the Works short shifter....before I put the shortshifter on...the knob made a HUGE difference with the stock throw...shifted smooth as butter....then after I put the shortshifter on it evened it out a bit b/c of the more work required to shift....

Do a search for Krackas review of the works shifter and the TWM . It was a great write up he did and really helped me with my finally decision. I have the complete works upgrade for mine and love it. It was like night and day after the install and the install was really easy and fun.

I have the Torque Solutions short shifter, works base and under hood bushings coupled with the Redline cocktail and it's definitely better than stock but there's still some notchy shifts. I guess having a little grinding is a fact of life with the X's tranny.
Mine is only notchy in 3rd when its cold...but goes away after 5 mins....its still mechanical though but not notchy anymore...gonna do the redline mix at some point with bushings




lol
