      For those that might be confused about shifters, shifting, and changing shift throws or the length the shift lever travels between engaging gears some commonly agreed upon terminology would help.
      1 )Shift lever, sometimes called the shift rod ( though in older shifters the rods are part of the linkage )- the stalk that sticks up through the floor that the shift knob, or shift ball, or shift handle threads onto
      2) Shifter- can be the entire assembly, as in a Hurst Shifter or simply the lever that sticks up through the floor. Is a regional, generational thing
      3) Shift/shifting- the act of moving the shifter into the next gear or the transition between gears
      4)short shift- can be in verb form, as in-"to short shift"- meaning shifting up to the next gear at low rpm's. Or- as part of a description- "Short shift kit"- meaning shortening up the distance the lever "stirs" between engaging gears- as described in 3)
      5) finally- "short shifter"- literally the lever or stalk that pokes up through the floor- being physically short or shorter than a stock one

      So, in this scenario - the "short shift kit" is comprised of physically modifying the linkage between the shift lever and the transmission's internal gear selector arms or forks- depending on transmission internal design. In short, ha-no pun intended- the linkage has been lengthened. This means the distance the lever has to travel to snick into gear has been reduced because the "reach" of the pivot point between the bottom of the lever that pokes up through the floor has been extended by the longer linkage arms so the lever moves less to "reach" the next gear.

      Hope this helps.

      I didn't have to much experience, but my past sor shifter don't move anything and the changes reduces in about 35%, if the gerar box have to modified, the mod must be so expensive and dificult to do....

      this is a pic from my stock shiffter in a B13 GA16DNE



      This is a Pace Setter Short siffter and works very fine, with height adjustment...



      only includes this pieces, is a very simple part, don't have to fal in a word's game, and is a performance part...



      I'm interest in a part, but I don´t return my piece, prefer go at 120 USD and have at Plug & play piece...
