Short throw shifter

[deranged]

My shifter has A LOT of play in it. It is 20 years old, though. In gear, there's a substantial amount of movement. Probably just a bushing or something. I assume that installing a short throw kit would replace any of the old, problem pieces, and make the shift shorter all in the process, which I am a fan of. The thing is, I want the shortest shift I can get, but... Just like everyone else, I wanna get away with it for as cheap as possible (while still buying a kit, not just shaving it down).

I found one on SupraSport
Is it any good? I've seen one on here that is a 50% shorter shift, but I have to send in my core.

I hear that is a good shifter.

You could always replace your Bushings with Marlin Crawler hardware as well.

I love my C's shifter

Toyota green truck bushing works too.

If I replace the bushing, will the throw be considerably shorter than stock?

 

[BorHor]

no but the shifter will be more stiff.

NashMan shifters are FTMFW! I'm saving for one of these...along with the other things i need for my car.

How do you know it is that good if you have never tried it?

Yes I foresee lots of mis-shifts

Driving with my C's, I have never missed a shift.

get the truck bushing from martin crawler, along with the seat bushing. got them for my r154 and it is tighter than a vir... well you get the idea

 

[Poodles]

it will be a short shifter...to you since you're throwing quite a bit farther than needed because the bushing and seat are worn...

marlin crawler FTW!

IMO short shifters are not good for this car. I have tried 2 types now and none are good (at least for my driving style) They are simply too short.

I just put the MarlinCrawler bushing and seat in my car and it made an awesome difference. For $16, it was worth it, made the shifter feel a hell of a lot better.

I don't really like short throw shifters or short(height) shifters either.

Stock is just fine and I can still shift plenty fast.

cause you drive slow, and shift slow like a retard :nono:

lmao :rofl:

I'm seeing a trend.........it's only you Canadians who don't like it.

I honestly don't see the stock shifter to be that bad

i have to agree with joe and duane i had a short throw in my old car and it was too short for me. some good bushings and it feels great.

<=== stock shifter with marlin crawler bushings and TRD knob (it's weighted)

it's great, plain and simple...

Where did you get the knob from?

I meant both short (height) and short throw BTW
