Qns abt short shift

[Keith976]

Does short shift mean a shorter shift stick or a short throw shifter? Does anyone know? Thanks!

I belive it is Short Throw. Cutting the stick make it look good only. Cut too short may miss gear shift at times.

Hi bro, sold ur car yet? Nice car u got. My shift stick was roughly sawn off at the top without re-threading n the knob was juz plugged on. I've seen pics of short shifters tat looks juz like a shorter stick n was wondering how it can be so mechanically simple. Do u know if short throw shifter for starlet is still available?

Short shift means a shorter throw. Have to change the pivot point, i.e the whole shifter.

Cutting short does reduce the throw alittle, but it feels weird having such a short stick.

 

I believe the height of the shifter should be as near to the bottom of the steering to minimize time spent moving the hand. A true short throw shift with a long shift stick is ideal..

Yes i sold my starlet to a nice uncle recently.

 

If you look closely at a real short shifter, you can notice that the angle of the stick is different from stock.

 

Starlet short shifter i believe you can only get used from bro selling theirs.

Yes I believe it is short throw or some call it quick shift.

 

I had installed it to my Mini and make the gear change quicker. Good stuff !

short throw shifter.

it may not necessary be shorter in length.

[Jeronleow]

Checked around seems like a good choice. How much and where to get?

[Kazuo]

Anyway to check if it is really a quick shift rather than a normal one?

[Turbonetics]

the movement of your hand when changing gears are shorter.

[Kazuo]

Thanks.

 

Does that still apply if it is not fixed on yet?

[Turbonetics]

if you are talking about not fix on one.

then its not so easy to tell.

unless you had seen a stock one before.

[Turbonetics]
