Buddy club short shifter

[poizon]

I know a few ITR owners either use to or are still using 1 of this Racing Spec shifter.

My question is how does it compare over our OEM shifter? In terms of throw and comfort.

Worth the while?

[M a i k e r u]

Yes, i would also like to know... the answer to this question.

its good, cant say a bad thing about it, it is more expensive but thats due to the complete shifterbox replacement

[noodleman]

if you cahgne form buddy club short shift back to stock shifter it makes teh stock one feel like shit

Fitted one to my car myself.

It was so much fun... NOT!!!

It was pretty hairy trying to take off the surround without breaking any of the clips.

Once fitted it was amazing. Much shorter shift, same shifter height but a heavier motion.

Very direct action and engagement.

Recommend it for sure.

I fitted this in conjunction with metal bushes on the gearbox end. Solved my "second gear crunching" problem.

Oh, I did put in the black Innovative engine mounts too, which may have helped.

what are the chances of going in the wrong gear during track... as in downshifting :|
