Man this is awesome im going to try it this weekend.... Cant wait to shorten the throw of my shifts

what does a short shifter have to do with how and where your car chirps? if you werent chirping before, all it means that your shifting skills suckors.

x2, this will NOT affect torque at the wheels. LOL Your just getting from gear to gear faster that's all....

i did this today...wow, the difference was amazing..the only thing i did different was to mount the clamp upside down from what he did. my uncle is an electrician, so it didnt even cost me anything.

its been seven months since ive been on this thread i got to say that i havent had any problems with my short throw shifter. hope every ones is going fine as well

I'm not a big fan of short shifters BUT I hate that the shifter is so far from me in the cb7. Is it possible to bend the stock shifter OR maybe add a little pipe to relocate the shift knob further away from the dashboard. It would be so much more comfortable... I hope I did not confuse anyone.
??? Does anyone else have short arms and/or thought of relocating the shift knob?

I did this as well and it works pretty good. I havent had any problems with it, and plus it was super easy and cheap

I dont get how just that "thing" makes it into a short shifter?
Some one please feel me in! =)

Spend $3.60. Do the DIY and see for yourself.

Explaination:
The shifter is just a lever and the cable attaches to the lever.
The lower the cable is attached, the "longer" the throw.
The higher the cable is attached, the "shorter" the throw.

Example:
- Make two parallel lines on a piece of paper 3 inches apart.
- Take a pen and stand it up on one line line.
- Now move it back and forth. This is called the "throw".
- See how the upper part of the pen breaks the plain of the second line first? It travels a greater distance to reach the same goal as the bottom of the pen does. Got it so far?
- Now attach two pieces of wire to the pen of equal lengths; one at the top and one towards the bottom. How much quicker does the wire at the top of the pen reach the marker than the one towards the bottom? The higher up the wire the greater distance it travels for the same "throw". Got it?

Hope this helps.

it pretty much lifts the cable higher up the stick making it so you do not have to throw it as far.
