The SS is different though...the reverse lockout goes up into the knob.

On the standard TWM HHR short shifter, the thread size is M12x1.25.

On the TWM HHR SS short shifter, the thread size is M10x1.25. We couldn't make it the same size as the standard HHR because the diameter of the shifter had to be smaller for the reverse lockout part.

Will this break in (I've 3400 miles on her) or will this shift kit fix the problem.

If you get a chance test drive a 08 Civic and let me know what you think...

Mine has broken in to be much smoother over time. Still, a STS is on my mod list.

And anyone have a recommendation for a new shift boot? Preferably black leather or suede with red stitching.

The thread size on the TWM short shifter for the HHR SS is M10 x 1.25. The threads on the TWM short shifter for HHR (non SS) are M12 x 1.25.

For a shift boot you could check out redlinegoods.com. They make custom shift boots and seem to make them for virtually any car.

Thanks,
