Shifting action is actually made worse by sogi modding

I only drove my car for about an hour with the stock shifter, so it's harder for me to remember the difference (three years ago).. but others have driven my car and commented on how short and precise the shifts are.

Since you can't tell the difference anyway, Dylan....why don't you ship your C's to me and I will ship you a stock. Lol

I only spent $190 for my C's shifter a few months ago...for me, it has been the best bang for the buck purchase. (A few years ago, I had the chance to buy a C's shifter for $200)

My friend lives in china, he got a C's from the manufacture for 120 bux.... tried to buy more but RHD purchased the remaining stock. C's is now discontinued from the manufacturer per my friend. only available thru sellers.

I would have purchased one when he first got to china if i knew that price lol

That is the truth. I had to downgrade to a sogi one after I sold my C's. I looked for a stock one moments after I started driving with the sogi.

I drove a Mk. 3 a while back that had the SOGI mod, the shifting was super shitty. I would much rather have a stock shifter over that ridiculous mod. However I haven't driven one with a C's or other short throw on it.

I have driven them all, and ran a C's in my personal car for a while, by far the best is the S3 shifter is has a shorter throw and shorter height but not ultra short like some others out there, if they are too short they are very notchy and almost need two hands to get it into gear because you have no leverage. Second choice is the C's, but the drawback is that it is stock height, and I did tend to miss 3rd gear alot while racing, so now i run the shortened stock shifter (SOGI mod) and it woks great for me.

You say you have driven them all, does this include the Nashman shifter as well? You didnt mention it, and was just wondering if that particular shifter was included in "all". LOL I have driven none, and was just wondering if this was included in your comparison because I am trying to make an educated purchase. I am sure I would be happy with any of them though.

That is a pretty cool feature. Do you include any bushings with the purchase of your shifter? Be it factory or Marlin Crawler?
