im thinking of purchasing a short throw shifter from this local shop for 40$, there isnt realy anything on it. its jus the shifter itself i dont recall on what it comes with but i think its alloy, 40% reduce, and the case it comes in says "TYPE R" on it, kinda looks like a EBAY shifter but yea. should i get it? what can be the problems of a shifter like this?

 

i think that u should get it only if necessary.Because its only 40 might be a crappy one.up to you.
Btw wats good Brian.

 

Keep the stock one. For $40, it is bound to be junk.

 

what can be the downfalls of using this shifter? cause yea ive heard some shortthrow shifters grind or rattle at high rpm?

 

IMO this is one area where you get what you pay for.

I only use the Skunk2 STS. Put that $40.00 towards the real thing. You'll be happy you did.

ok as for the grinding
thats if you are a n00b driver,
as for rattling, maybe but i dont see how it would differ from stock
BUT i would suggest that if your stock shifter is a little loose when in gear(you can move it a good distance from side to side)
you should pick up a shifter bushing kit, they run about 30 to 40 bucks
i just got a bushing kit and a dc short shifter on a trade for a tranny linkage pin


oh yes, the spare bitch pin.
