What's the best short-throw shifter?

So to answer my question above, it appears there is no such animal?
For my frame and reach, the shifter is located in a perfect position for daily driving... I'm not willing to give that up. If I don't have to, I'm interested.
i just installed the Lancershop kit.......it's the best $119 i spend on my evo.......no more problems from 1st to 2nd.......what is the best trany fluid for the evo Redline or Syncromesh??????

Can anyone hook me up with the LINK to LANCERSHOP short throw shifter i want to order it tomorrow but i went on LACERSHOP.COm and i only see the B&M and the PERRIN and what else would u guys recomend with the short throw ive read someone said the bushings ?? and what else thanx i do have problems from going from 1st to 2nd above 5000 RPM hopefully this shifter will do the trick
Well if you want the best deal out there for a short throw and the bushings, looks like you would be hard pressed to find a better deal that the Lancer Shop combo http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...3&cat=6&page=1
I would also suggest replacing your tranny fluid with the BG Synchroshift and throwing some Redline Heavy Duty Shock Proof in the differentials and mix in 2oz of Redline Limited-Slip Differential additive in the rear diff. I did my fluids per superz's recommendations and have been running it for about a year with great sucess and smoothness.

I got a LS short shifter few weeks back and a friend of mine got the B&M.. I have to say if I can do it all over again I would pay more and get the B&M.. feels a lot better .. the adjestable one ofcourse.. but the LS is not bad either..
I like my Perrin short-shifter....and will never go back to the stock shifter.
My shifter has a "weird" angle to it, but I don't mind since I don't look at it when I drive anyway.
It's great...I cannot downshift from 3rd to 2nd, or 5th to 4th like I do when I had the stocker. Much quicker, makes rev-matching easier. Also going from 2nd to 3rd is just like a quick upward motion to the right....hard to explain, you just have to experience it I guess. Great when you're at the track...I don't remember the last time I missed a gear since I've had the short-shifter. Can't go wrong...in my opinion. Also installed GFB's underhood shifter bushing, and Kart-Boy shifter bushings...great!
