Re: SHORT SHIFTER QUESTION (wwang924)

Hold off on the dual bend or doing anything first....

How tall are you?

How close do u sit to the wheel?

Tall people tend to get dual bends or ppl who sit firther away from the wheel... im kinda short, 5'10" and a single fits me perfect... my boy who is a lanky 6'2"ish likes the dual bend as he kinda strains for with the single.

Ebay shifter
Pro: lighter then most, aluminum
Con: **** to snappin on hard shifts, not always a threaded ****

Brand name company ie Skunk2

Pro: strong material, wicky short
Con: HEAVY!!!!! EXPENSIVE!!!!!

NO cutting is necessary for a short shifter

Highly recommend getting new shifter bushings from Energy Suspension. Very easy to instule. Takes longer to jack the car up then it does to pop in a new shifter and bushings.
