Short Shifter

Recommended Posts

I've fitted a short shifter kit. Now, before I go to the bother of putting the box back in has anyone had any experience with them? It's not a Cs one, it's a Japspeed one. It feels a bit clunky, even more clunky than normal, but I believe that gearboxes generally are a bit more clunky when the engine isn't running.

 

As much as I would love to just give it a go, it's a PITA removing the fecker at a later date.

 

Any genuine feedback would be great.

Just try it for a bit its only a 10min job to remove it with the box fitted in the car, does it have the reverse lock out like the stock shifter ?

 

It does indeed. If it's that straight forward then that's not so bad. I was thinking that I needed the prop out of the way to get access to to the lower bolt, good to know that's not the case :)

Personally I hate them, I think the stock lever is too short and certainly doesn't want the throw reducing. The nicest mod is a LONGER gear lever and remove the rubber bushes from the lever extension frame. The longer lever allows finger tip changes and makes the rather truck like Getrag change quite tolerable.

I was wondering whether or not to change the bushes to aluminium. You recommend that then Chris?

 

I must admit I do like a short shift. My gear change was always pretty good so I don't mind sacrificing a little, if it's too much I'll ditch it though.
