Cheap Short throw shifter
« on: March 25, 2009, 04:43:27 PM »
I bought this off Ebay for $19 shipped. It  took all about 2 minutes to install. it actually took longer for me to jack up my car then to install this thing. so far it works great. no problems whatsoever.

What does it do - just adjust the point where the bottom of the lever mates to the shift arm?

I used locktight; do you think that will work?

Yes that exactly right. It shortens the throw without shorting the height

It is basically the same thing as a real short shifter and with any short throw shifter there will be some notchynes. However, it's not as bad as some other short shifters I’ve felt.
