KiNK43 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 well worth a go mate. if cheap.basically your loosing the mechanical advantage with short shifter. they tend to actually be shorter on top so less leverage there.and they are longer underneath thats connected to the linkage. so requires less distance to select gear but more effort if you understand me? im not so good at explaining. think of this..http://www.dynamicscience.com.au/tester ... order1.gifi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Ye I see what you mean.. and that link kind of made me laugh The short shifter only cost something like 13 quid. Or I could get a nice red one for 25 quid. If I don't like the shifter I could put it on my Honda Concerto (new project coming soon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadz-VTIs Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 beware of ebay short shifter or this will happen on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Ye I have made a thread for the Concerto but I never got round to taking pics or keeping track on it. I inherited the car from my Granfather who had it for 24 years! I still haven't dug the car out of his garage yet, which sat in there for like 9 years.. I have got some plans for her but I don't know whether to keep it standard and turn it mint condition or build it for track day. I know my Grandad will hate me turning the car into something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
