Hi everyone,

Hopefully those who have this setup can speak of the quality of the short shifter as mine has some crazy big "ball" weld on it and some quality issues. See the pictures below and let me know if this is how it should look.. I'm most worried about if the weld is going to eventually break...

The knob looks great and I will post a picture of it as well!

Thanks

 

That weld is not going anywhere.

 

Exactly how it's supposed to look. Nothing to worry about.

 

Thank you so much guys!! Going to install today!

 

Is that in neutral or 5th?

 

That appears to be the stock shifter, in neutral, with the WORKS Grab shift knob.

 

That was on the stock short shifter with the WORKS grab knob installed. It was just in neutral. Now that I have installed it, neutral is almost down where 2nd is! It is soooo much shorter! They said only 25% reduction, but it is a HUGE reduction and feel now!

That's correct!

Just to add to this thread. I installed the WORKS short shifter, shifter based bushings, and their grab knob today. Besides for all of the cuts on my hands, it went pretty smoothly, haha. The only hiccup was dropping a bushing down under the carpet (this is very easy to do) and I had to pull the front seat out to locate it! Also, I wish the directions would have said to force the new urethane bushings in by putting on under the shifter and slamming it down onto it. I kept trying to put them up in the base with my hand and it didn't go too well. You don't have any room to get a hammer or anything else in there to get it in either. So if you plan on doing this install, align the bushings and push down onto them with the shifter base!

The initial impressions are amazing thus far! I can already tell a HUGE difference in overall shifter feel. It is extremely tight, the gears are closer together, and the shifts are so much shorter! It just feels smoother overall and I'm extremely happy!!

 

Glad you're happy!

 

Awesome !!!

 

Thank you for representing such great parts!

Yeah, I also like that the knob hasn't gotten ridiculously cold yet.. It is bearable to drive the car as soon as I get in after sitting in 30 degree weather! .

 

The coating on the knob helps quite a bit.

 

Does this unit eliminate the sloppy feel of the stock setup? Do you still have the mushy feel in and out of gear?

I have been considering this unit for a while and was thinking of installing it this week when input my new clutch in.

 

Yes, the complete package eliminates the slop.

 

Can you specify what the complete package is?

Are you talking just the short throw kit or should I be buying some sort of bushing kit?

Thanks!!

 

I still have the Kracha shift package in the box lol
