Yeah I heard about those too, haven't found one I want to try yet though. If you happen to find one I'd be interested to know where you got it from and what it did for you! I'll admit this short shifter does make the shifting itself feel just a bit more rough but my bushings are almost worn out anyway so I'm gonna replace them soon, I think that will make it a lot better. All that to say that it's probably best to do this mod in combination with a bushing repair if you want to best results. Thanks for your comment!
Well worth it in my opinion! If you really want to do it justice, get a weighted shift rod and do a complete gear shifter linkage rebuild! Makes the shifting feel like a new/modern car
Nice dude!
Not seen these before, I've seen the weighted shifters from a mk3, this looks cool though!
