Is it long enough to do a proper figure 8 loop around the shifter and not stop halfway up the bar top?

No. But you don't need to do 8 as it comes with 2 small pieces of cork to apply on shifters. Works out perfectly.

Yes Allen, it is long enough to make the figure 8, unless the bike handle is unusually big.

I called the factory. They eliminated the 3/8 drive (model now ends with an "a") and went to a cast design for more strength. The problem they addressed is the gorillas out there overtorqueing, which would break out the 3/8" drive part. If people would learn to use a torque wrench, this wouldn't be a problem. As an engineer, I can say they did the right thing. While a little more inconvenient, it more importantly also won't break.

I'm using the barend shifters with my old 8 speed alivio rear and front derailleurs with 9 speed cassette, there won't be any issue if you are going to use 9-speed all the way, cassette, rear and front Derailleurs

Unfortunately no...The shifter is hard mounted to the right side of the device...However, there are "Shifter paddle" type buttons on the back of the wheel itself that can be used instead of the shifter knob if it's in an uncomfortable place for you...

It's a mountain bike der, so it assumes that you have a mountain bike shifter. They tend to have their adjusters built in. If it doesn't, you can install and in-line barrel adjuster in the cable.

Might be referring to Grip Shift where the inner 1 in or so of the grip is actually your shifter. You just rotate that inner 'Twist Shift" to change gears. The small must have a shorter (width) grip to accommodate the shift ring without hanging off the end of the bars. Just guessing.

Yes. A 7-speed & 8-speed have the exact same amount of spacing between sprockets. The only thing is that one of the gears on your shifter won't be used for anything. If it were the other way around, then you would not be able to shift to one of your eight gears with a 7 speed shifter.

as long as the side of the shifter pole is flat not round it will fit and it's made of hard plastic and metal

I put it on a 2002 F250 7.3. Simple tools needed and about 30 minutes. You can remove the overdrive switch itself as it just plugs in at the end of the shifter. No wire chaffing was found on the old lever. I will order just the switch next time.

The crank should drop in OK as long as your frame can fit the bottom bracket. As for the shifting, your 3 speed front shifter should be just fine. I have not come across one that has differed yet in movement.

Sadly you have to change at least the rear shifter. Some might say you can get away within but it will always shift oddly. Matching shifters is best. That's the way they get us to keep spending money :-)

Hello you will need to adjust with a combination of the initial cable tension at the machine and the adjuster on the shifter itself. It is not uncommon for the shifter cable or any new cable to stretch a little thus changing the tune of the bike. Good luck.

the cable comes out the back of the shifter it will circle around to the transmission, its possible you may need a longer cable

The knob comes with inserts for m8, m 10 or m 12 shafts. You can test with a nut of those sizes on the shifter shift to see if this will work.

I have put my own grips on the SRAM twist shifters - just cut them to size and fit them snuggly on. Of course, I use bar end bars, which keeps the grips firmly pushed up against the shifters.

the cable MAY not be long enough to go rear wheel to handlebars, otherwise = YES

moving the shifter, and make sure the linkage isnt binding, i have not had this happen on mine.
