When you put a short shifter on the car..does it help prevent accidental down shifts when accelerating? The stock shift is waaay to long for me and gets me in trouble sometimes.

What is the best short shifter out there. I heard B&M had one but there was a problem with it breaking? Any idea's?

SVSi short throw shifter negated the problem; only one missed shift since; none in past 1.5 yrs.

1) No, it does not. Some even say it makes it worse, since the torquing of the motor/trans moves as much as 3/4", and the tighter pattern makes it even MORE difficult as Bob Woodhouse discovered at Viper Days.

2) It invalidates your Trans warranty, as a member discovered just last week. Especially damaging on pre-98 trans due to cast forks

3) There is a spring-loaded OEM part avail for $169 or so that DOES work.....and is OEM so is warranty friendly.

4) The short-shaft from Dave Neidert and the short Knob from MGW is all most need. Very easy to install vs a short-throw.

{Adam . . All the above avail from PartsRack - THANKS )
