though the best mod for the sw20 shifter was when someone came up with ferrari style gates for the sw20, a nice brushed alloy shifter plate went over the boot area, then there is no guessing if thats the right gate/gear

I'm hoping that Cobb releases an adjustable short shifter. It would be nice to be able to adjust the throw and height.

Short throw

Oh boy my nads are tingling thinking about it! I installed the Perrin bushing and it's ok but something a little tighter w a weighted knob sounds great.

I am currently a prototype short shifter, i have it since saturday last week.

I love it, it's less vague, the guys has been able to take out 25% of the throw reduction. With the redline transmission oil (mt-90) it doesn't have that notchy feeling anymore, and it's a lot more direct.

They are looking to make the production this week.
