What is the best short throw shifter?

nobody is having problems with the synchro rev match and short shifters. people have problems with the actual synchronizers in transmissions. Not srm

Can someone link a thread of someone's syncros failing due to a short throw?

Never seen it on a z tbh. Just past car experience

That's the point. FWIW Google weighted shift knobs and there are plenty of other forums with people talking about how the heavier knob destroys the transmission due to extra strain in the linkage to the transmission, strain on the shift gates as well as syncros.

Which is better? The Stillen short shifter or the B&M short shifter?

I am going to pull my b&m short shifter out. Waste of money. The stock is fine. I have trouble shifting from 4th to 5th, and 5th to 6th

Have you considered driving lessons?

Hopefully the guy with 4 posts has gotten it figured out since he posted in 2013. You're better than this.
