I have been looking at the Perrin Short Shifter, and then the other day I read in a magazine about the SKunk2 one thats out, but i really dont think that they make that for the Evo VIII, anyways my question is what have you guys bought and what do you recomend? anything else i should be looking at to improve my shifting? Bushings perhaps? anyways still pretty new to this whole thing but i thought i would post and see if anyone will give me some suggestions.

Thanks

I have the Perrin.... I dont think it helped.... I would skip it, just get the bushing kit (2 pc )... and switch to syncromesh tranny fluid......

Get their 2 peice underhood bushing set and their short shifter. Then get some syncromesh or redline mt-90

 

Get a kartboy short shifter, shifting is precise and throws are better than stock shifter. Direct bolt-on, No cutting or modification required, you only need to get the upper shifter pivot cup from kartboy or your mitsu dealer.

 

i have the B&M professional edition with 2 different throw settings. I currently have it set to 45% reduction and its short as hell. Feels beautiful and crisp. Im still getting used to the short throw though. Ive missed a couple 2nd gear shifts because of how short it is
But it def does feel precise and smooth as hell.

 

kartboy 'nuff said.

 

yada yada yada...

Save yourself the cash. I had the "other brand" in my car till I drove my buddies car with a Megan Racing one. Swamped mine out for a MR one. Cost way less and is just as acurate. I used the MR shifter and underhood bushings. TIGHT THROWS!

 

How can i not take Yoda's advice.....LOL nah seriously thanks a bunch guys, you all opened up my eyes to other possibilities. THanks and keep em coming

 

i think i use to have that avatar

 

I installed the B&M, shifter base bushings.. Didn't make much of a difference but it felt nicer.. the cable bushings (under-hood) bushings definitely help.. no more slop in the cables..

 

yes evo81 i think you did, i got your pm about it, was thinking of actually stealing yours this time....you know....just for kicks
