I know a couple years ago these weren't the most reliable without additional parts of work. Curious how they work today, as of Aug 2025?

Think I read in these forums they were revised at least once along the way. A few years I almost ordered a unit but decided against one in case they failed at the track or far away. How are they today? Are there any precautionary measures to consider while first installing? Only thing I've found is that it's more of a hassle if one has already installed a Moutune shifter (actually have one sitting in the garage but never installed).

With aftermarket shift knobs, anything to avoid like weighted knobs? I know the shift knob uses 12x1.5 thread, so tempted to go with JDC titanium knob at a moderate 10.2 oz. I know the fiesta doesn't go with heavier knobs, but this I am not sure about.

Side note also considered the CAE unit, but seems like a huge hassle having to modify/butcher shifter cables. Whoosh also sells a Hong Kong (one of my favorite places in the world) made WK shifter, but the part seems less proven and on a superficial level, bit too flashy for me.

I really enjoyed my 2 year tour in Hong Kong. Fantastic place for food! Worked anti-vice for 6 months arresting street walkers and making sure the girls in the bars and brothels went for their weekly checkups. Had a lot of fun running round Kowloon and had no problems from the Triads!

I have the original with the original linkage. Still perfect with zero problems.
