Title: short shifter
Post by: johnboy07 on February 08, 2011, 07:31:43 pm

Going to order some ds250 pads tomorow from jkm if i remember and was thinking about getting a short shifter at the same time. Do they improve things that much and in your opinion are they worth it.
thanks

i run the forge at the max adjustment (or minimum throw)

some have reliability issues with them, i never have

I'm running the both the forge short shifters. One of the best mods in my opinion to. Take into consideration that if you've got the plastic side-to-side shifter arm then you may also need to get the adjustable shifter due to clearance issues (I think, was well over a year ago I had mine so I can't remember the exact reasons), but even if you have the metal arm, I'd still get it as it still improves it further.

I have the forge one as well, like it, though it does take a little getting used to, and if your wife drives your car then be prepared for moaning...I got that anyway. :wink:
