Like the topic states i'm in the market for a short shifter I kinda want a combo of a short throw and a short shifter if they exist...i'm looking at the B&M either...

This one.

or

This one......

what is the difference between the one that has the factory bends versus the straight one?

or should I just saveup and buy...


Skunk2


now if you are gonna comment on short shifters by tellin me how bad they are and blah blah blah...screw your opinion, I have decided that this is what I wanna do and save your comment. If anyone out there has a short shifter and/or has a brand reccomendation please let me know.

Also...can anyoe tell me what the real name is for that rubber piece that goes around the ball of the pivot part of the shifter..i think mine has gone bad so i'm getting side to side play even whent eh car is in gear.


Thanks guys

that was gonna be my 2nd choice aside from the b&m and the Skunk2...


can anyone answer the other questions I had? like the difference between single and dual bend.. and the name of that rubber thing around the pivot point.

Fantastic..cause my shifter is like 3 feet long and I get knuckle burn on the ceiling of my car cause my shifter is so long. When I shift into second I get a black eye.




...yes I want a shorter shifter.

Toyz-B-Us has a skunk2 one I believe, PM him, he might have something to tell you about em. I personally love driving his car, maybe it's the shifter, but it could also be the jdm gsr swap.

I already got ES shifter bushings. and it still plays side to side when in gear.
