Best shortshifter?

[russman68]

Hi guys, been doing some reading on a short shifter for my LCR.

It seems that as expected Forge produce a reliable decent version but it seems that EIPs one is rated higher. However it seems that EIP are now bust so was just wondering which short shifter people recommend?

I dont want anything to restricted (20-30% reduction?)

Cost doesnt really matter.

Cheers!

forge ones are great i have the front to back and side to side ones

 

[russman68]

Yea, think ill prob go forge.. got a few other things i want to order anyway

Dan, do you think the side to side one is really worth it? i dont want to restrict the gear movement to much, just minimise the time it takes to actually engage the gear. Only see a track a few times a year. Is the side to side one adjustable?

 

[Murdered LCR]

The side one is adjustable but tbh not worth getting but the front to back is great prob one of my best mods if not the best I set it to as short as it can go and its great

i just want to put a comment on this thread, i've just put a forge short shift on my cupra and can i just say i'm more than happy with it well worth the £££ and it make's driving a pleasure

Wonder if fitting soemthing like this will help with my gear changes, second is abit hard to get in sometimes, but its only in a certain way when i shift if you get me.

Maybe one of these adjustable ones would do the trick? reasonable price too!

Go for a ths performance one, great quality, fully adjustable and cheaper than most of the others. I did and like some of the other guys are saying, it's a great mod. Didn't bother with the side to side one and don't really think it needs it.

Yea, I pin would be good, but that bolt has been there over a year with absolutely no issues or notchiness!

what am I looking at here? What did you do to it? I wanna play too....

 

[LEE69]

A bolt coming upwards secured with a nut, then the cable over the thread then a lock nut.

 

[turbin]

tally ho

what does that do?

 

[LEE69]

Shortens the gear throw.

 

[turbin]

I figured that much, was thinking more technical... purpose.. Why do this instead of getting say the Forge one? Other than the cost of course.

 

[LEE69]

Just cost.

 

[turbin]

and just as good and safe as getting a full bolt on shifter?

non adjustable I guess...

 

[LEE69]

Yeah, but if you can elongate the hole it can be made adjustable.
