My shifter is still stock, which is a little too long for my tastes but nobody really notices that it's kinda long, especially since I have a Type R knob, which looks better than the black one I had!

I'm just afraid of doing it myself because I'll probably mess up the ball socket and bushings!

But definitely short shifter is better if you wanna be as quick as possible. Also, my shifter has a bit too much flex when I'm really flogging it while racing, so I guess I really need to pick up a shorter shifter that will help not only with throws but also will reduce the bendability of a longer stick.

My shifter is larger than stock by about 3"... It shifts before I want it to sometimes... cant get the feeling of the high revving before it shifts... it is kind of bad at times when it shifts before I get to the redline... but when it does shift I can feel the transmission fluids going crazy and then the revs get low again and calm back down... did I mention mine is automatic? :D

So do you have to push in that button to get your stick in gear? Or is it one of those spiffy new Tiptronic ones?

What? This thread is still going on :crazy:

No seriously, I've been meaning to pick up a short shifter for a couple years now but it always gets overshadowed by the bigger mods.
I've been looking at B&M shifters and also Neuspeed.....both not only have a shortened stick but the whole shortened throw as well due to different placement of the shifter type stuff.

I know Neuspeed is good, but it's like $200, B&M is a bit more reasonable.......what do you people suggest?

It really depends on the what kind of shift knob you have and how it feels, also on how you use it.

you people are nuts!! haha.

i had a aftermarket knob on my auto... but it kept shooting off.

I'm gonna be getting the Skunk2 short shifter and the Skunk2 Type R knob.......the knob is pretty heavy and he said it'll make for quicker throws......hopefully it helps out in my 1/4 mile time
