just wondering...whats the difference between single, dual, and no bend short shifters?

 

Single bend:



Dual bend:



No bend:



It all depends where you want your shifter placement, that is the difference on the bends.

I have a B&M Short Throw without a bend, straight shaft. Like the placement of it. Most people though, go with a dual-bend, so it sits closer to the driver.

Mine, out of my car:

 

None funtion wise, just the style of how they look.

 

I went with the no bend in my EG hatch....its all about driver preference

It is functional. No bend sits the shifter further in front. Single bend places it where the OEM location is. Dual bend positions it straight up, but closer to the driver hand. It all depends on where you want the location of the shifter and your physical size.

 

thanks for the replies

 

oh yeah, when you mean the dual bend sits closer to the driver, do you mean closer to the drivers seat (to the left) or back farther twords the back seat?

Further back.

So the dual bend will move the shift *** further away from the steering wheel?

Forward/backward wise yes. Not left/right. Like closer to the ebrake (making you not have to "reach" as far)

Also doesn't a dual bend also sit lower? B/c if the shaft is the same length as a single bend, wouldn't having more bends make it sit just a little bit lower, creating a bit shorter?

 

Iv used the straight B&M and the dc sport dual bend and i personally like the dual bend better. It just seems to be more ergonomic. I just wish i could find a steel shifter like the b&M but with a dual bend like the dc sports...cuz i pwnz aluminium shifters.

 

try the skunk2, its made of steel and you can get it with a dual bend...
