Best shifter
Get the metal STI knob. That knob is like stock but gets rid of all the minus feel about stock knob & STI short shifter (-5mm).. Both are amazing product. JDM TRD short shifter is even shorter then STI one if you want that. (-10mm? I forget) They do cost more since it's the whole assembly, but you pay for the quality & prefect fit like its suppose to come with them from factory. Judging from the way you said it, you should give them a try. You will not regret getting them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by chaoskaze; 05-28-2016 at 06:53 AM. |

I have the perrin rear bushing and that tightens things up. so do my MTEC springs, but they also help with some pop in the throws. the whiteline transmission bushing also gives some good stiffness on acceleration for less chances of missed shifts from less torque twist of the knob, and it gives a (IMO) nice feel and sound. The shift knob is slightly lower than stock.
Short shift kits can be finicky and aren't really needed because the stock shifter doesn't have a long throw to begin with (IMO), especially compared to many cars. |

STI is -4mm throw (10% shorter), JDM TRD is -8mm throw (20% shorter). Factory height and construction for both the difference in the pivot point at the bottom. If the throws get overly short I suspect it won't be that great for daily driving. I have the weighty STI alu knob to go with the STI shifter and I find sometimes when the gearbox doesn't want to engage, I've managed to jam it into gear and grind without effort. I'm thinking if I should go with the lighter Duracon one instead to be safe, but I know the plastic will wear down and melt with time like a ThinkPad keyboard.
