Default Short Shifter, anyone have one?

Has anyone installed a short shifter?
and what are your reviews of it?
Thinking about getting one but would install it myself and i'm not extremely good around the garage but can turn a wrench. Thanx in advance.

I have the prototype Mossy Perfromance Short shifter which will be out soon and I love it....Its adjustable in 4 positions but I prefer the shortest. Install is the same as a Rouge Engineering one would be...Look for it soon...

I install the B&M short shifter about 6 weeks ago...took me about an hour, the hardest part is getting to the link underneath the car...I had to use my rhino ramps and jack the one side of the car.

I like the shifter alot...throw went from just under 4 inches to 2.75 inches...that's the 30% reduction they claim. I like it with my sparco shifter **** too.

Picking up Z today with Vortech B&M and guages installed. Can't wait. Tried a friends Z with B&M in it and I was sold. I'll let you know as soon as I test it.

I have the Rogue shifter. Installation was straightforward. I imagine the most difficult part would be getting to the link under the car as FRIT-Z notes. However, my tranny was out at the time so it was a piece of cake up onthe lift. Operation/feel is very similar to stock and throw is noticably shorter. I am very happy with it.

i have the B&M short shifter.. installed it this past weekend. i HIGHLY recommend it!!

i love it alot! shifts are a little harder due to the change in the fulcrum point, but they're crisp.

slight vibration using the stock ****, suggest going with aftermarket solid **** (aka GT nismo ****)

install was a *****. messed up my stock leather **** and broke my stock shifter rod in two.. be sure to clamp the BOTTOM of the shifter underneath the boot and then it wont happen to you-

good luck-
