The Short Shifter from Creative Compacts is AWSOME!
I think it was more difficult to install then the front sway bar! Not that it was time consuming, it was just tought because I had to pry a bunch of plastic and metal pieces, instead of just haveing tight bolts to remove.
It came with these purple metal risors that lift it a little, but they replace the rubber bushings, so it completely removes the rubbery feeling of the old shifter. Plus it shortens throws by about 30%.
Here are some comparison shots of the stock and short shifter
As you can see, not only is the top portion shortened, but the bottom portion is lenghthened as well, which changes the pivot point.
This is the stock shifter
Here is the short shifter with the risors in incorectly and the shift boot too short
And here is the short shifter with the risors in, the bushings removed, and the shift boot bunched up a little
It really makes the car feel sportier. Shifting at first was stiff, but after the grease got worked in, it is solid and precise. Me likey!
