I can ask my son, Mr. Badwrench, if you want me to go into more detail. I might be incorrect, but it's unlikely given my track record.

Yea yea yea...we know all about your track record :tup: ;) ;)

I may call him tomoorow since i am off. Could i get that off alone?

I'm not 100% certain about the effects of the engine heat on a painted strut bar. I do know forum members have done it themselves with good results. Long term, not sure.

Can you remove it yourself? I would bet yes. It requires removing 8 nuts and two plastic cowl pieces. I would make sure the plastic is somewhat warm before prying on them. Plastic tends to break easier when cold.

Looks like Jar is getting caught up on the forum, doing some mad power reading! :tup:

My point is the driver could engage a gear at an improper engine speed.

OK -- Colin says this:

Hello Mr. Alcheng!!! He also said that both you and I are right. People with short-shifters tend to shift hard, thus potentially impacting tranny longevity in a negative way. The short-shifter itself poses little prove-able difficulties.

I have one (B&M) and I love it:

yah, most folks buy short throws to cut down on the shift throw time which usually means they are jamming the syncro's to work harder...thus wearing them out faster.

if one's just shifting normally (just to enjoy the shorter throw) it makes no difference in the wear. :)
for me, i just buy a shorter weighted knob to shorten the stroke. not the same as a real short throw, but it's still shorter throw. :icon17:
