Stillen Short Throw Shifter

cjr1881 · 04-06-2012, 10:32 AM

Don't get the Stillen short throw shifter. They make them in 2 pieces and their seal doesn't hold. I sent it back and they "fixed" it and it was the same. I ended up having my mechanic weld it together. Not spinning anymore

i heard short throw shifters mess with the synchro-rev matching so that's probably why a lot of people don't get them.

Can you explain this? I have a TMW short shifter and I've never had a problem with the SRM. Is there a valid reason why a short shifter would cause problems with SRM? I can see why a different final drive would alter your SRM but a short shifter shouldn't mess with that.

I got the same TMW shifter. Never had a problem with the SRM.

I don't have srm but I know tons of people that do that have short throws and never heard of any problems. I think I'm the only person that bought a Stillen though...

I'm looking to buy a short throw shifter, leaning towards stillen. Any other much better brands?

TWM comes to mind. Though, I decided to stick with the OEM shifter, but matched with a heavier shift knob. I was once interested on a short throw shifter, but after reading multiple threads, it didn't, and still doesn't, seem like an upgrade worth doing.
