the BIGGEST thing you can do to fix the huge amount of slop all the shifters have is replace shifter bushings..
that makes a night and day difference to even the stock shifter.
the nice thing about the rside is the adjustability. even though most people keep it as low as possible, some leave it higher.

I agree, the Rside is a bit sloppy, particularly in 5th gear... Need to find a way to get that tighter. The shifter bushings you refer to, are those like the ones flyryde sells that go in the engine bay, or ones that go inside the cabin instead?
Still working on getting mine a lot shorter, but should have that fixed pretty soon...

Eric- are these the base bushings you speak of? http://www.kjbmotorsports.com/trans-hyu-rdtib-base.html
Here is a link to the cable bushing

"the best bet for people wanting smoother/tighter shifts, would be to get elantra shifter base and short shifter and swap it into the tib."
What year elantra?

I think the majority of people with a 5-speed here have short shifters already. The Elantra idea would be great but factor in the cost of a new one plus the base. Im not sure its worth it for the upgrade. Just like we were talking about in the strut bar thread. It would be cool to see it done though.
