Short shifter, pics Options

[mikecelica]

Im about to order a short shifter, the 7th gen ones. but i wanted to see first how short the shaft actualy is? Anyone got a pic of their car with a 7th gen short shifter? thanks

the short throw won't look all that much shorter because you have to put the assembly on risers so you don't hit on the bottom. it's designed shorten the throw, not necessarily the height of the shifter. if you want a short throw/short shift stick, get a cheap ebay one, cut a bit off the top portion then weld it back together. now you have a shorter throw (distance between gears when shifting) and the shift stick now looks shorter.
all i can say is i love mine and most people who have been in my car have made comments about it. best 30 bucks spent IMO.

hey jaws, i used to have that same shift boot (except red) on my old 97 LE. i do miss that car sometimes.
