B&M Short Shifter worth it with Light flywheel?
Sunday, October 16, 2005 1:38 PM
Ok well since i just got my Aluminum Flywheel, Stage 3 clutch and quaife lsd i am wondering if i should invest in a short shifter... Because the new set up is atleast half the weight of the old one which is nice for getting into my power band fast... but it will also drop down faster between shifts... so i am wondering if this short shifter would benifit me?

Also for thoughs who have them ... how hard are they to install? and where would you suggest to get it from? i was looking at Gravana since i ushally try to get all my stuff from Jim as he is a good guy to work with... but same with Karo at Carcustoms....

Yea but how much time does it actually take off? and people who have it... did you notice any difference or no? plus can i put a new shift knob on the B&M one?

I can't stand driving cars with stock shifters now.

I have a MOMO knob and boot on my B&M. But then again, I took off the reverse lockout...
