Re: Lets talk short throw shifters.

The only problem with that Ebay shifter is that it does not have a stopper, which can cause major problems with 1g's, from bound up linkage, to broken shift forks from the shifter moving too far. (over extends the forks) I was just researching 1g shifter stuff about a month ago, and found all of this out. I had a shifter like that, and I am pretty certain that is what took out my 1st transmission now that I look back at it.

A better option would be to do the "shifter end stop mod" found on vFaq. I tried out a car at the cookout with this mod, and it was by far the best 1g shifter I had ever felt, since they are known to suck.

Check it out here: http://www.vfaq.com/index-main.html

Also, when doing this mod, make sure to take out the rubber bumper on the stopper (triangle piece), then re-adjust the screws, it gives it a much more positive feel.

Since vFaq won't send you directly to a page:
