Anyone got one of these fitted or similar and is it worth having?

Might get one if I end up converting to a manual box.

Chris,had a short shift quick shift in my man Cossie about 10 years ago,they take all the nasty slop out of the stock stick;)

Chris........i think Paul G has the short shift fitted to his car....and his skill level must be getting better as it has not fell off........YET

Unless he is telling porkies and is only pretending its a short shift

:D

yeah ive got a z center one it made so much differance on the throw i was shocked def worth getting .It was only £65 in exchange for the old one n really easy to fit...

Cool, didn't realise Z Centre did one, but then I've never had a manual so probably didn't pay attention...

Been thinking about one of these myself. Mainly because I have a Navan gear knob which seems quite long (oooeeer Missus!) and a short shifter should make it pretty tidy I reckon.

Tried one that was in a car at grasshopper when I was there, felt 10 times better!

Think it was from the Z Centre. Going to order one this week.

Yep ive got one Chris but now ive seen how there done i wouldnt pay for one. Give me a shout when you get your stuff ;)

I made my own for the S13 from the std item.

Tis great. :)

 

The worse thing about the std one is that the two halves are isolated by a load of rubber which makes for vague control, but does reduce cabin noise a fair bit.

Not tried it yet but I found this article:

 

HOW TO MAKE A SHORT SHIFTER!

Let's say you want a 2" shorter throw, take the shifter and cut it right

where the pivot ball and the top half meet (right above the pivot ball), then

take the top part you just cut off and cut 2" off that, put the little 2" piece aside

you will need it later, then re-weld the shortened part of the shifter back on the pivot ball.

Then take the shifter and cut just below the pivot ball...take the 2" piece the you cut off

earlier and weld it to the pivot ball where you just cut off the bottom portion

then re-weld the bottom portion to the 2" piece you just welded back on.

Now what you should have done if you did it right is shortened the shifter above

the pivot ball 2" and lengthened the shifter below the ball 2". Oh and FYI that is all a short shifter

that you would buy for $100 is. They just make the top shorter and the bottom longer

therefore changing the pivot point in turn shortening the throw.

I have a Z centre one fitted to mine, is brilliant.
