How can anyone justify spending $500 on a shifter to attach to a $500 gearbox?
All the jap geabox can get shifters for less than $200. Maybe we need to approach someone who can make these things and arrange a group buy or something. All they need to do is lift the pivot point upwards and the throw is reduced - cant be too hard. |

It seems that some people here are probably talking about Shortened shifters and short throw/short shifters as one and the same. Most short shift kits I've seen are around $400-500, but shortened shifters are much cheaper.

Most short shifters that you are talking about are created with an angle grinder. I can get a short throw shifter for $180 for my Nissan 200sx. THis is not just a cut down gear lever but are new mechanism that replaces the existing shifter. check out the xspeed website in WA.

Check out Mick Webb SVO - I purchased mine from him in the $350 mark and it is excellent.

I've been looking at just shortened shifters for a while. Not really confident in the old T5 liking the short shifters. Do you have any problem with yours mspw? Doesn't seem to have/be putting more stress on the box?

i bought mine from Mick Webb - Not really that hard to install, having ahoist makes it a piece of piss. Just need to lower the gear box a bit to get enough room to get in and undo the forward bolts. But 1st to 2nd and 3rd to 4th shifts are awesome!

seen as though this back up. a mate of mine got one made for his e30 bmw for 150 bucks from bmtechnique (somethin like that) and he asked the guy if he would make a falcon one. and he sed yeh y not, 150 to make and 50 to install.
i dont know if the guy is talkin s**t or wat. but if it can be made like the bmw one its shorter then half the throw. should i look more into this???? |

forking out that much for a short shift is a joke.
there is no point. u can slam em just as fast with the normal long one. |

How come the Ford ones are so expensive. I boutght one for my WRX for $160 and just bought another one for my 200sx for $180. $350 for one to fit a t5 - one of the most common gearboxes in the world - what the F#$k!

A friend got one done for his skyline and it cost him over 600. Where did you get yours from?
