Hey guys, whats going on? I have a question. My 90 GS-T as well as everyone elses has an extremely long shifter throw. Although it is butter smooth, I am **absolutely feigning** a short throw shifter. I dont mind cutting the rod, and a different knob will help as well but I want something that just goes from gear to gear with the 'flick of the wrist.'
I know ebay sells short shifters but im not quite sure if they work. I have heard that they work with some modification, but im not sure how much is involved and im not quite sure even if they work at all! If I can verify that the ebay shifter does work, then I am ready to buy one at a moments notice. Does anyone else have any other suggestions? Thanks  Nomie |

not sure about the ones you will find on ebay.... but I did install a pacesetter short throw on the GSX... ordered it from Sumitt (or jegs... can't remember). the install wasn't that bad... basicly you take the rod wheer the shifter knob screws on and the one that bolts to it off of your current assembly.... then bolt on your shorter arms
the results were better than expected seeing as pace setter accually moved the pivot point some as opposed to just chopping down a stock shifter.... like kicks said though... you will lose the shifting like butter feeling.... but with a little extra force a flick of the wrist is all that it takes to grab the next gear. -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!
