Birthday is coming up and i think a short shifter or a counter weight knob would be a good addition.... Anyone know of some good products that look nice? I'd like a thread on knob but, seems impossible to find these days. will a short shifter affect the height of the knob? i like the stock position but i'd like a more metal to metal feel, i guess more solid.

 

For a IX the only people that I know of, besides custom fabrication, that are making short shifters is Works out of california. Only problem is they only do it in house.

Yeah my bad meant to add for 6 speed for 5 speed there are alot of options

 

im in cali but i dont want to drive just to have a short shifter installed.....too easy to diy.

 

Are you certain you don't mean for an MR 6 speed? I don't think the 5 speed's shifter changed from VIII to IX.

 

greddy counter weight ftw!!!

 

yea the 5 speed works shifter is a diy job. The 6 speeds are the ones that need to be done in house.

 

will it change the knob height? otherthan shorter shift lengths what else do you gain or lose? sloppy, tighter, .....???

not a fan of any greddy stuff.... looks nice but says greddy on it....

how bout razo theres any good?

does the counterweight shift knob feel better than stock?

http://www.momousa.com/detail.php?category=6&group=73 one of these would be cool except i think all of momo's **** is set screw, i want a thread on knob

 

I have the Kartboy shortshifter with the Greddy counterweight shift knob. It's definitely way heavier than stock and it helps the shifts a lot. I kind of just toss the shifter into gear in a sense.

 

works makes their own counter weight

but it gets hot as hell druing the day

 

If you like titanium aspec makes some nice weighted shift knobs. They sit a little bit lower than stock as well. For short shifters some evo owners are using the B&M short shifters.

 

you should do a b&m short throw and a greddy counter weight but it does get to hot in the summer.

 

Perrin also makes a short-throw shifter. Greddy or Razo make decent counter weight knobs. Do a search on here for any of the products mentioned and you'll find multiple threads. Read them, become informed and then make a decision.

 

If you want a short shifter, just get the Authority. It is a short shifter and a knob for much less than the B&M.

 

Does installing a short shifter increase stiffness?

 

A short shifter shouldn't really do anything but make the shifts shorter. Going from let's say 1.5" to get into a gear, down to only 1" of movement.
