Default Need a quick review... FIDANZA short throw shifter. ANYONE ever tried one?? Know someone who has??

Just like the topic says... I wanted to know if anyone, and i mean ANYONE, has either tried or knows someone who has tried a Fidanza short throw shifter? I know Fidanza as a whole is good stuff, but just never tried a short shifter from them.

Let me know....

Thanks to all in advance.

Yeah... I have thought about that one too. You can never go wrong with Skunk2 in the shifter department.

I already have the dc weighted shift **** on my stock shifter with some ES shifter bushings.

I have just been bouncing around looking for a good shirt throw, and I have the chance to get a fidanza ss for a steal... just not sure if I should do it.

Mine is nice with short smooth shifts.
The only one I liked better was the B&M (?)
I think it had some nice bearing setup or some bs...

So so so so...

We have one vote for: Skunk2 (haha)

We have one vote for: Mine is nice (always good to hear from someone who has one)

And...

We have one vote for: Falls apart. That does NOT sound promising.

More feedback please...

... and for JJDrivesAJazz, have you found the falling apart problem true for the shifters or just clutches/flywheels, etc??

Good call... I think what I will do is go ahead and pick up the fidanza from my friend for $20 to settle my itch for a short throw. And I will just start the saving process for the skunk2 combo.

Thanks for the input.
