let me get this straight, since ive seen / experienced a "short shifter" dat is literally shorten the length of the shifter rod and not the travel of the shifter. a short shifter is supposed to shorten the length of time for u to shift gears, by shortening the throw or travel of the shifter rod. u get me? its not shortening the length of the rod, but the travel of the rod. shortening the rod means u need more force to apply the same torque required to shift the thing in a gear, and as i experienced it around last week, it wasnt helping at all. the shift isnt smooth and everything else gets in the way, because the rod now is shorter, ur elbow gets into everything ie the console, the can beverage, lol. the throw-in length to engage a gear isnt shorten at all imo, dis type of so called short shifter isnt my cuppa tea.
now, lets talk about the real deal. the proper short shifter doesnt seem short at all, they look like normal shifter jer, but the distance / travel to engage a gear is shorten. its so short dat u wud initially think u havent engage anything!!! ive experienced a good custom made and aftermarket shorties and comparing the price and quality, i prefer to perform dis modifcation at a mechanic named abang mael in cars and conversion pandan indah, top notch job
padan muka u experienced it with my car..ehehehehe...joking!
but really..if u do have the proper..the real short shifter...tell me aite..
but from my experience..short shifter+racing clutch = :proud::proud: now when i replace my clutch to normal one...:sleep::sleep: didnt feel like before..
