How difficult are RTD/CAE shifters to remove and replace with OEM?

Not debating you, but why would you recommend someone’s first manual car to be one with the CAE shifter?

Because the natural progression is to want a CAE. So why bother with anything else. At the end of the day a CAE is an H pattern shifter that is only taller than stock. It’s not reinventing the wheel. You’re shifting a taller stalk, that’s it.

It is an arm workout though, since the effort increases significantly. Some people also don't like the non stock look.

But I agree, after driving my s2k, that is the type of shifter I want in the M3 over the melted swiss cheese feeling that it comes with stock compared to those.

Sure it’s a bit more but I wouldn’t say it’s that bad. A 997 GT3 takes more effort to shift properly than a CAE which has defined “ gates”
