short Shifters

[misterandyle]

wanting to know if anyone had any experience with the skunk2 short shifter? i looking at it on there webpage i wass thinking that if you brought a single bend shifter from the US lets say, wouldn't the bend be towards the left more towards the lefted sided US driver, so if i used a US short shifter it would be further away from us AUSSIE drivers since we drive on the right side? correct me if im wrong or does the bend like sit directly under where a straight shifter would sit?

dont quote me tho
but i think the bend is up/down
not left or right

position of the gearknob/shift
may be lower or close to stock

i'm using a bc shift, seems bout same as normal height

Short Shifter requires more effort to put into gear.

Yeah your rite the reason is the the fulcrum of the shifter is moved to provide a shorter throw. Which in turn makes shifting a little stiffer. Im running a flying honda shifter shortend length and throw. Watch your busch's they do were a little quicker. Apart from that no real issues.....
