This week on Money Pit, we’re replacing the 26 year old oem shifter with a Short Shifter. Along the way we’ll take a look at how short shifters actually make shifts shorter and we’ll see if it’s a worthy mod.
I’m also going to start including links to all the stuff that we use on the show for anyone that wants to check them out!

POP UP AND DOWN HEADLIGHT!!
I love the Money pit however I'm having issues with the way the videos are organized. They arent listed for me in the Money pit section.
Money pit is my favorite Donut Show. I also like Hi Low. Donut has made 2020 a bit better.
Yeah it has
All the donut shows are my favorite
So incredibly true. This comment should absolutely be on top.
A bit? You mean A LOT
Honestly I couldn’t agree more, i love these guys. Literally make my days better
I feel like Zach was a teacher before he joined, he does an incredible job of explaining everything in detail but keeping it so simple for us to understand. A real one!!!!
He did the same thing he does now for another automotive channel. Mostly working on Volkswagens.
@@ProjectM97 What channel was he on before donut?
@@fyz. he did install videos for ECS Tuning for a while
@@ProjectM97 Oh wow!
th-cam.com/video/cfaUCHyXZew/w-d-xo.html Jobe on ECS Tuning from 4 years ago.
Zach is the CEO of "might as well replace it while we're here."
Yeah, buying a car from him must be great because you know everything is _mint_
That's what happens when you're spending someone else's money or you're rich
Short-throw shifters are in that "feel-good" mod category, like steel-braided brake hoses.
Stainless brake lines do make a difference lol especially on a Miata. Stock rubber brake lines get old and expand more with brake pressure and you loose that pressure in the line instead of at the pedal and at the brakes.
It made a huge difference for me and as well as many others. Same thing goes for clutch lines.
You top it all off with a brake master brace and expect greatness
This is really a tutorial for shifter rebuilt
Definitely not. My first car was a short throw, so when I bought an MS3 that had a normal length arm, it felt way too long and hard.
@@Gerald.69 😂
Eddie honestly just wants the whole Miata
piece by piece, he's getting it

How to install a short shifter in a car with an automatic transmission
Step one, tell parents you appreciate the car. Step two buy a manual car.
@@mrsir2378 yes
yes
swap the transmission
Uhmmmm anything is possible with enough lubrication and pressure. Good luck bubba!
Meanwhile my biggest bottleneck is just waiting for the revs to drop from first to second. It takes like 2-3 seconds.
My 2012 si does that too. I hate it
@@isaacsalazar342 Double-whammy for me is that my car has a 'feature' where the idle point changes depending on if the engine is warm or cold, so the revs sometimes drop super fast, and other times not at all. I guess I just need to be more gradual with the clutch from 1st to second.
@@LazerLord10 maybe I can be tuned out if it's a feature
The rev hang on my 2015 Wrx is just as bad . Only solution I can think of is shifting in lower rpms and enjoy 2-3 gears
My 2007 Volvo S40 T5 manual AWD does this too, I think it can be mapped out.
Should’ve gone with: “Let’s get shift done”.
Thats a good one
Good one, need a job? Haha, I just started my channel where I take trucks to the mountains and bag on em. Hoping to make some people laugh.
or get shifty with it, Rick and Morty plug
I just added exactly this comment and then saw this and deleted mine, because you won the race, this time.
Shift happens
I just wanna express my appreciation for the little timer bar when y’all shoutout the sponsor. It’s something small but I wish more people did it 😭
This should be required by youtube.
So true, Corridor does the same thing. Although, now that I think about it, they switched it with a timer. Which also works for the same purpose.
I couldn't agree with this more
I'm kind of surprised the sponsor let's them, surely they know everyone skips it
i conquer.
100% agree about the feel. Had a Z that had been swapped to a short shift by the previous owner. People that rode with me couldn't even tell I was changing gears because of how much faster it was, which meant less time for the rpms to drop and less effort matching. Solidly one of the best things that can be changed on a manual transmission.
Can’t find any for my 05 accord
Help pls
Sadly I don't know. Mine had been done by the previous owner(don't know if it was aftermarket or an option from the dealership), and I'm not the gearhead in my family but I'm learning.
@@jamesesson9006 I cant seem to find any also
Looks like ur seats r kinda worn off
Id suggest an episode: are aftermarket seats worth it
Like if u want zach to get new seats in the miata

id go buy a loto ticket if i were you
@@zachlocklear5233 I was hoping you would do a recover on the stock seats.

Me- *laughs in Volkwagen*
DAS AUTO
Man, this episode sure is good. It's just Zack explaining some simple stuff and doing a quick change of parts but it's so engaging and just fun to watch. You forget it's an actual informative video from all the fun both him and Eddie seem to be having. And the editing captures amazingly all the sweet parts. Donut is really special, thank you all for making car culture a bit better
4:30 "it comes with everything"
*Zooms in on the stickers*
Priorities 👍
Remember stickers add 10 hp

I have seen several of my buddies use cheap short shifters. They always break or do more damage than good. I am glad to see Zach buying quality parts for the Miata. It helps that Donut Media is probably fronting some of the coats as well. 😉
This is for sure one of my all time favorite car related series ever, everyone has built a Miata on TH-cam but this is just something else, it's really special! 😁
Fun Fact - Zach Jobe was already my hero before he came to Donut - I'm forever in his debt for his "How to replace BMW 335i /N54 Turbos video"
Have you got the link for it bro
Hahah i found it

It almost looks like Zach's in witness protection when you see his older videos. He seems so much different to California/Donut Zach.
Money pit is actually making me learn so much about cars. It’s quite educational but with a goofy style of teaching, I love it. Keep it guy donut! (Also they struck gold with this host) (also he’s in hi low which is my second fav show)
9:05 I can fully relate to his reaction. The joy you feel when you hear ‘snick-snick’ after a short shifter install and a refresh of misc. shifter components…amazing feeling.
6:00 This guy has his foot on the driver seat to get a closer shot
Damn Eddie is dedicated to them tasty shots
gotta get those sick angles dude
"wHaT ArE tHoSe?!?"
"is a shorter shaft worth it?" My GirlFriend asks herself that all the time. 😅😬😭
as a boi I can tell you that shorter shaft means more problems
hey king, you dropped this 👑
Shorter pistons cycle faster king.
Bruh my girlfriend won't even talk to me because she says it's too short and that Jeffery is better than me and that I Fricken suck
its the knob attached to the shaft that my gf has a problem with
Just ordered my very first car part that I’m going to install myself, this short shifter from Miata Roadster. Feels great supporting a small business and knowing you’re getting a great product! So excited to do my first hands-on work.
I had a short throw shifter in my 93 mustang cobra years ago and loved how it shifted, I own a '12 toyota tacoma TRD sport manual transmission and I'm looking at a short throw shifter for it as we speak , great explanation on this 👍🏽
It seems like Zach is going crazy slowly, just like everyone else during this quarantine
I dunno seems fairly sudden to me. Not mad about it, not at all.
Lmao facts
Hes just being silly and I love itt, other than Hi / Low this is 100% my favorite show 😌
Nope he’s just a car guy. We all go crazy sooner or later
He hella high
me: *buys 3500$ worth of parts*
me: does it come with stickers?
company: um yes?
me: 😯
We should legally be able to sue if it doesnt come with stickers......lol
Half the time i don't want the stickers cause i already have them, but then i'm like where the fuck are the stickers. This is BS.
Amazing video bro. I wasn’t Sure about changing my shifter to a short shifter but, It looks simple, easy and worth it to do.
I put a short shift kit on my old Porsche 944S and it made a big improvement in the feel. When I brought it to an independent Porsche service shop for some work the service manager asked me when I was picking up the car where I got that kit from. He and the other mechanics really liked how much better it felt as compared to stock.
Another day another donut video ❤️
Another day another donut 🍩

Well, except for saturday
Me watching with my automatic: interesting.
I felt this one :(
Hmm yes, mm hmm, yup, uh huh, yeah, sure, I knew that, yup.
Auto boiz make some noise!
Hahahahaha
Yeah, I haven't driven stick since my 95 Civic died. Thanks to Money Pit though I'm learning more about cars and made a lot of improvements to my XV30. Maybe I can convert from auto to manual. :3
Jobe is the best, I love watching him cuz he just always seems like he's having a blast!!
Zach's face at 6:39 had me howling with laughter! I love this show! Keep up the great work, I greatly appreciate everything you do.
Me: My shifter changes length depending on my mood
Zach: 👀 👀 👀
3:56 me sitting on my parked car pretending to race because it doesn't run
the explanation at @3:53 was that one that did it for me. ty sir.
Perfect! Man thanks for these! :D Edit: I've been watching video's on transmissions but now trying to find video's on how the actual shifter works and it's nice to stumble on this since many new sports cars have short shifters stock now like...I think the Honda Civic Type R.
Kudos for your content, style and delivery; not too much or little. Subscribed just based on one episode, and looking forward to more. Thank you.
“Comes with everything”
*zooms in on stickers*
My only question has been answered
Glad someone else noticed this
Imagine getting a heart from zach
just imagine
Wow dreams really do come true
The little thing in life ...
So moist
Looks like you made it!
I'm having a shortshifter in my RX-8 for years now. I still love it.
Just like he says, gear changes feel so "crisp". You need more power to change gears because the shorter leverage, but that makes it feel so good!
Totally. Same on my supercharged Miata. Very crisp. It's a longer style so it doesn't take much force
That was fun. Thank you. Learned something. Bonus! Keep it up.
When I was this early Hamiltons tyre was intact
F1 boi here
Well I was this early when kvyat's tyre was still intact!
Well, I was here before Albon did a Hamilton on k-mag
When I was this early Hulk was supposed to start
WHen I was here, Seb still was Champion ;((
He still one tho ☝️ legend
I thought the title was "Is a shifter worth it?"
The answer is, no, I prefer to ram a pen into the transmission and shift with that.
You know your body comes with a few natural and good shifters, a few examples arm, leg, and of course your peepee parts
Awesome video man, i dont own a miata but enjoyed the video, very informative.. Thumbs up 👍
Have had a short throw shifter on my 2004 A4 forever, next car is gonna have one too for sure! It DOES make the manual experience twice as satisfying, highly recommended mod!
I have a 2010 manual gt. It's grabber blue...was wondering what a short feels like... worth it?

Shifting from:

1 to 2: 🙂
2 to 3: 😀
3 to 4: 😆
4 to 5: 🤩
5 to R: 💀
Nice one bro
People who can't shift at drag events:
N to 1: 🤔
1 to 2: 🙂
2 to 1: 💥
**accidentally shifts from 3rd to R**
Miatas got a lockout so that you can’t go from 5 to R
Going backward is where all the fun is at!
11:28 that smile after the shift =) hell yeah I love that joy. It’s about the smiles per gallon
One of the best things I did to my fast road mx5. I completely agree about the shift feel.
New Donut Video: "Shortening shift throw"
Me: *Laughs in clapped out medium and heavy duty truck*
Like a 1 arm bench press? Lol
Seems like most kids who put em in clapped out VWs take them out the next week.
It's too fast and overwhelms the synchros and you get a nice little click going into the next gear.
So you have to actually slow down your shift so it doesn't clash.
Waste of time.
Lmao I was looking for this comment and was going to make it if not. Driving friends sporty cars after my truck is so weird. Like oh you can actually shift quickly and not explode
I learned manual on my grandfathers 1990 ford f150 with a 4 on the floor. It felt like rowing a boat but if you tried to fast the whole thing felt like it was gonna blow up. My dad then bought a manual ford focus and that thing felt way different. It was almost like i had to relearn how to drive a manual.
Yeah man I've learned to drive stick on an F-150. The throw is measured in yards
“and you will never even know” good bc my insurance wont either
then ur insurance will be voided if u try claim anything
@@zupan_1856 nobody has to know...
@@zupan_1856 Your insurance doesn't get voided by modifying your car from stock, you're thinking of warranties, they just insure it as if you hadn't made changes. Ex: you replace your headlights, get into a front end collision, they pay an amount of money appropriate for stock headlights based on your coverage not enough to replace the presumably more expensive aftermarket lights.
@@michoppen it depends on how the accident occured but if you modify your car from stock the aftermarket parts especially performance enhancing ones you're insurance can chose to not cover you for certain or all damages
3:55 now i understand thanks for that that really strengthen my knowledge
Short throw shifters are also very useful for manual swapping certain cars if there is limited space in which to move the shifter around.Many people on P71 and marauder forums recommend installing a short throw shifter depending on where you want your shift knob to sit so as to not punch the dash
This just made my day!!!!
ksboi29 exactly..!

"so much heat comes through here" Just wait 'til you put the turbo on. You'll realize that the tunnel up by your foot is also poorly insulated
Great video man!
I had a 96 5 speed camaro, shifting that thing was like going fishing.
The next episode should be “Are new Seats worth it?” Or “How to switch seats in your project car”
They’re probably doing it after upgrading all the interior stuff so they do t have to take em out/not scuff em
But those peanut butter seats with the speakers inside the headrest look so good, one of my favorite things about that car fr 🥺
But yea I’d like to see that if only to see a review of some good and cheap seats
lol i read this as Seat's as the car brand and was like wtf but the seats in project car cleared it xD
They kinda touched on that on Hi-Low
So you mean like, you want an episode on how to take out 4 bolts and unplug a seatbelt sensor? May aswell ask for an episode on how to fill up fuel
Thank you for making money pit. I've always been scared of working on cars because no one in my life really knows how to. But I always wanted to learn :)
Thank you I needed this

So seriously good shifter! 👌🏻 My 04 mustang short throw shifter was good, but not as good as this! I'm amazed! 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really, it is all about how they feel. I got an ST, and the first time I felt another ST with a short throw shifter, I wanted one. It makes daily driving my car so much more enjoyable as everything is tight and precise, no more loose and sloppiness.
“Oh...on the sim?”
"let's get shifting!"
What have you been watching lately
Lets get shwifty
@@spenck7740 exactly what came to mind!!
100% for the precision feel. I love short shifters because you go from feeling the synchros and the gears to just feeling a click from neutral to in gear. I miss a lot less gears shifting with short throw.
3:55 thank you for the empirical, and scientifically accurate description.
Essentially one more shift in the same amount of time. I'm sold!
money pit is easily my favorite series and i say that knowing that high low exists.

did you money shift at a high rpm tho o_o
And this is why I wouldn't use them. Your out on track getting knocked around in a bumpy corner and trying to make a shift and boom you just did a 3rd to 2nd at red line.
@@russell4930 that's what matters
@@SofaKingTouge Pro tip: sont shift during a bumpy corner, it makes the car less stable anyways
@@SofaKingTouge doubling clutching and not womping on the gas the second you release the clutch so you aren't rushing your shifts almost completely eliminates the possibility of you having a bad throw 💁🏾♂️

That mEdition interior is so nice looking.
Could you do a seat repair tutorial? Since your seat is torn to shreds. I mean, it's too nice of a seat to replace all together. Plus it's a limited edition.
