    Can't go wrong with the AP shift hammer for SSP. Whatever you land on don't forget to adjust shifter cables for the best shift

    Do you know how to compares to the damond SSP? And is there instructions on how to adjust shifter cables or is it in the instructions manual? Thank you!

    I've heard good things about the JBR and damond SSP. I run JBR with Cobb weight and knobb, if I were to do it again I'd probably get the AP hammer, the ability to fine tune the shift weight is great.

    Video for ms3 should be the same

    I know it isn't quite what you asked but if you can (if anyone makes one for the 6?), an actual short shift assembly has been far superior to an ssp in my experience with my two MS3s.

    I was going to suggest this myself but didnt see any one a quick search. Sharks is right this is definitely preferred to a ssp.

    I have the damond ssp, it was smoother than the corksport ssp I've driven. Adjusting the cables does make a FUCKIN' difference. What made a bigger difference was changing fluid and putting the clutch all the way down when shifting. Eventually I will buy the JBR short shifter and enjoy the results.

    And obviously I have a 3 but applying this to the 6 will still suffice.

    I found my TWM short shifter on ebay for $100 they pop up from time to time.
    It's the only interior short throw shifter for the MS6's
