Default Does anyone make a...

shifter for the 4th gen T56 that's NOT super short throw? My 12 year old stock shifter is a little worn out and sometimes doesn't want to shift into gears. Does anyone know where to get one that's not too much shorter than stock? I would like it a TAD bit smaller, but not a tiny throw like most of the aftermarket ones are.

Thanks, Cameron.

Well I see all the shifters are short throw, so that will probably have to do. What's everyone's favorite shifter? I know there's a lot and there's personal preferences, but are some better than others?

Hurst billet/plus or Hurst competition/plus? I've been looking at both and don't know which would be better for me.

This Hurst shifter will not be physically shorter in height but the length on motion from, lets say 1st - 2nd, will be shorter. That's where the "Short" comes from. The shifter is not actually shorter. It's the same height. It just takes less movement to get it through the gears.
