What is a short shifter?
A short shifter is designed to reduce the throw distance between gear changes, providing a faster, more precise, and sportier shifting experience. Being taller than a stock shifter it also provides a quicker gear change due to less travel from the steering wheel to the shift knob.
It’s one of the most effective upgrades for both race and street cars, giving the driver improved feedback, control, confidence behind the wheel and unforgettable authentic experience allowing to become one with your car.
