some short shifters suck
Just thought I would share a little story with you guys about my expierence with my short shifter from Ractive.
I always thought it was a great product, throws were shorter and all that, and it looked good too. but recently I havent been so satisfied with it. I was also reading a post regaurding the fastline performance shifter and how it worked, using same as stock shift throw with a taller stance. So then I said to myself, lets try the stocker out again.
I put the stock shifter in today, and I never thought I would be so pleased, shifts sooo much smoother, feels like a dream , oh and get this. the past couple of weeks, Ive had trouble getting into fourth gear, and I thought for sure it was my trannys shift fork or syncro or something like that, now it goes into gear the first time, every time with no fuss. I could not believe it, the short shifter I praised all this time ( for about 2 yrs. ) is now obsolete to me.
Moral of the story is that some stock parts cant be beat! well, I would like to try out that fastline shifter though, but stock diffedently rocks. shows how much I thought I knew about short shifters

Re: some short shifters suck (Broke@$$tuner)
do you think your problems were because of the ractive shifter itself, or any short shifter in your application? i'm really happy with my dc sports shifter, sometimes it's a little rough, but 
overall.
