wynode, not too sure how much driving you've done in the past couple of days
but i was considering getting one for my teg
do u crunch gears or anything with the short shifter?
i've heard rumours that short shifters eventually kill your synchros :S
-
how far away do they sit from the normal gear position?

I have only had it for a few days and haven't driven it as hard as I normally do till I get used to it. That said, I haven't crunched gears at all yet (only found it hard to get into 2nd and sometimes 3rd......but now its ok that I figured out I have to shift slightly differently)
Thing is, there is much more chance of getting the wrong gear now, and that fact that it requires more force makes things a bit more riskier!
As for the synchros comment, I think this all depends on how you shift......as long as you don't use excessive force (I just just enough force to get it in gear) it is all good.

Put it this way.......when I'm in neutral now, it feels like when I used to be in 3rd. But this is also due to the fact that the shifter sits lower than before.

cheers win
although i think this has put me off from gettin one
cos my 2nd gear sometimes (rarely) crunches
so with a shirt shifter, i reckon i'll probably blow up my gearbox

i have one mate, and it seems that way but u get used to it, its like gettin into a car u have never driven before, u will ride the clutch, maybe stall it but u will get used to it.
win is over exagerating lol

LOL I didn't realise I was making such a deal.
Just so you know, this is all to do with the lever action. Have a longer lever, and you require less force but more movement. Use a shorter lever and you need more force with less movement.
So, at the other end of the shifter (the shift linkages) they still connect to the gearbox in the same way, the only difference is the effort required by you. So as you don't use excessive force when shifting you will be ok (and WON'T blow up your gearbox!)
There happy Trav?
