Short shifter.

[bboyskidz]

resurrect threads much? lol


My gearbox is getting annoying too... i don't think they make these particular short shift kits for my car though...

[The_Hawk]

Hey I was thinking about a shortshifter too! Do they actually do much about the stiffness of your gearbox? Cause my VR6 has a floppy gearbox and i want it tighter, lol..

I'm assuming you mean how the stick has lots of side to side movement when in gear:

Check out Louis' post, the kit is supposed to have a "side to side" reduction pin which should fix that right up.

I held my breath and installed the last step, "side to side" reduction pin.



even more staight forward than the "front to back" (stick mechanism)
All I can say is WOW. Smoothness ! Reduction !

All the best in gathering ppls for group buy, surely no regret !

So Louis, 3 months later, how do you find the kit? Still recommended? Still happy?

I keep meaning to buy a short shifter... but then other things come up!

[sukebe]

I have a S/S but it didn't come with the side to side reduction (only Deiselgeek does it). Looking at that photo, surely I could do some kind of DIY jobby??? It looks like such a simple part

its jsut a spacer really. definately something u could dodgy up if u were that way inclined

Stiffness as in resistance of the stick while chaging gear ? When I first installed it, it was really stiff, was using my tricep and bicep muscle to change gears, another words very tiring. 3-4 months later they become just right.

Where abouts in sydney are you from. I am near parramatta/ carlingford. Come over to try before buy. Feels nice in the begining, most times I forget I even have it.

sounds like a plan! yay for meeting a fellow VR6ist PM me your number or something and I shall take up your invitation

As for stiffness, i mean stiffness as in side-to-side movement..mine feels old and worn and i'm particular when it comes to the little things, lol

Yeah P.S: I'm in WestRyde so we're hella close.

[Soundofav6]

YEah sure mate thats DAMN close... we shall meet up some day. Probably not until january tho.

As to your questions sure... definately stiffie improvements on side to side as well as up and down

[DubSteve]
