WORKS,

I am convinced that your short shifter is the right one for my style of driving (I really like the 30% and counterweight). I want to know if you guys got a short shifter for the 6 speed MR because on your guys' site there is only options for the 5-speed. I really hope you guys are developing one since I willing to drop my cash on one, along with one of those shift knobs.

Senna,
We pulled the 6 speed short shifter out of production for awhile. Once we get settled at Infineon it may make a return to the shelves, but it will be an item that we will only sell if we do the install in house. I'll try and keep you posted.

Aww man this upsets me for the fact that you guys are the ONLY ONES who make a 6speed short throw. I mean, I just dont understand why other companys havent developed one yet?! (Only because u guys are so far from me)..

PLEASE get this item back up for sale and get a certified shop in florida, so they can install it for me

Thanks Bill,

And come on, Infineon is hardly the place to be for a great company like WORKS, open up at Road Atlanta or Sebring...... for all us southern customers.

It would be really great if you guys just opened up next up to my house, that way I don't have to go anywhere for awesome parts...

But, I will drive to California if need be.

Thanks again

Wayne,
Yes, the 6-speed shifter is ready to go here at the shop.

Everyone else,
We're looking at rolling this item out to Authorized WORKS Dealers in order to provide more options (especially to those of you out East). Stay tuned!
