why is that?

in performance driving, you want the shifter closer to the steering wheel but the throw is shorter.

also there is more of a chance to mis-shift due to small movements

i can see what your sayin about the shorter throw, but what do you mean by miss-shift?
Means you'll try to put the car in the wrong gear.

eactly so for-say ur racing on the drag stip and u have really close gears, when u shift from 2nd to 5th by mistake. that is call mis-shift

You want "Quicker" shifts, not necessarily a "shorter" shifter.

so after doing some research and stuff i decided to cut about 2.5 inches off of my shifter which sets the shift knob right at the top of the first bend. the throw feels alot shorter and i havent had any problems with mis-shifting. thanks guys for all your help! but i would still like to see some pics of short shifters, mine will be up in a few days

It might feel/look shorter to you, but unless you change the pivot point of the shifter you're not going to notice much of anything performance-wise.

Hahaha. You hacked the stock one. Worst. Mod. Ever. Serious, you couldn't even splurge on an eBay special? Your throws aren't any shorter, because that would require a change in the fulcrum, which you didn't do.
Spend 15 bucks and get an eBay short shifter.

wtf?? its like cutting stock springs!!!

have you guys never seen anyone cut down the stock one? it does help cuz it doesnt take as long to go from 1st to 2nd, 3rd to 4th etc.
Wrong. It takes just as long because the pivot point of the shifter has not moved.

My mate did this on his Trueno lol, It makes it look like its got a short shift which is cool, whether it makes any actual difference or not is another thing, he thinks it does though so I guess thats the main thing.
Theres a thread or how-to on this site that shows how to make your stock shifter into a short shifter (properly) isn't there? Think I stumbled across it at some point.

Speeding doesn't kill! It never has!Stopping suddenly .. Thats what gets you!
I had stumbled on that one too.
I'm on my iPhone right now, but if you use the search function, look for "7th gen short shifter" and something should come up regarding it.
I can't even remember who hacked up their stock shifter and rewelded the fulcrum... ??? I want to say Manny... But I'm not sure. Maybe Dustin??
