I've always used lithium door hinge greese on my aftermarket shifters.

I got to drive the Alpha SS with the new shifter today and it is smooth as butter. Winding out that SUPERCHARGER and shifting was amazing. Yup... Got to drive the new Alpha supercharger.

I researched this several months ago, but forgot what I found. New search results agree with JT's comment. A good quality White Lithium Grease is safe for metal-to-metal and metal-to-plastic contact. If you're really paranoid about it, get some marine white lithium grease, but any white lithium grease should work. Spray white lithium grease, while convenient and easy to spray down into the shifter, may not perform quite as well simply because it's thinned for spraying, so it might need more grease or repeated application.

had ddm's shifter,and liked it but hated how first was tough sometimes and I'm definitely not trying to say bad product but i tried alphas and all i had to do was shift in and out of first gear just once and i was sold. the shift is like jt said, butter.

I've had both ddm & alpha. Stuck with the alpha, need to give it a little time to wear in. It will shift a little smother after the transmission worms up

I read a couple of reviews from guys that had the other and changed to Alpha...said it was smoooother
@TCB I have a lot of ddm mods that I really like, so I bought the short shifter. From the start it was kind of a rough shift and 2-3 was hard. At SSITS this year I drove one with the alpha and really felt a difference, much smoother. Had a friend, @Dogs, drive it and he bought one. I tended to miss shifts with the ddm which I attributed to muscle memory but do not with the alpha. Still have the ddm in box, cheap if you're interested ! Sorry tapped the wrong quote. Also just read dave's post on pin position and that could easily have been my problem with the ddm. Never looked at pin position!

I have the Alpha. A little knotchy at first. Drove for a week or so and it is "smooth as silk" now. One of my favorite mods!!

I've been using the DDMWorks Short Shifter for over 18 months now and while it took a little time to get used to it, I definitely am in no hurry to change back to the original shifter!
