Whats a good short shifter for a 95 z28 6 speed. I don't need one for drag racing, but I would like a shorter throw and **** height than the stock one.

Thanks

 

The throw distance is controlled by the Shift Linkage. If you look at the side of the transmission, You'll see linkage arms coming off the transmission. If You notice that the linkage rod is installed into the hole in the rod. Now, that hole is a certain distance from the pivot point of the rod. The closer that the hole is to that pivot point, the shorter the throw is going to be. I've modified many Hurst linkage to shorten the throw. It also occurs at the shifter. The closer that the rods enter the shifter linkage below the pivot point of the shifter, the shorter the throw. A combination of these two will determine the throw distance of the handle to engage the gear. At the same time, the length of the handle in relation to the pivot point and below will help determine distance. I hope this isn't too confusing. I'm trying to explain it as simply as I can.

 

Sounds like standard shift linkage, but since I haven't actually been under the car yet I can't visualize the parts your talking about. The last rear wheel drive I messed with had the shifter plugging directly into the tranny. I have, on front wheel drive cars, cut the shifter shorter at the **** end, so that it sits lower. On those cars with shift rods, a short shifter just moves the location of the pivot, but all the rods stay stock. I'll have to look through the helm manual to see what parts your talking about but it souns easy enough.

 

I recently installed a B&M short shifter, and I love it. I would recommend trying that out!
