Short shift kit with 5spd. Anyone have one

I noticed a kit on the FCP website for a short shift kit for less than $60. Just wondering if anyone has tried one??

Thanks

Hi I love it but I probably don't count because I'm the person who developed the kit. I just noticed your post and thought I should take the opportunity to chime in.

I developed that kit about a year and a half ago and between forums, FCP, ebay and direct sales here and abroad I've sold several hundred of them. I've never had one returned by a dissatisfied customer and 99% of people seem to love the way they transform the shifting qualities. I have them on all my cars, in fact that's the way my business started in the first place was making this product for my car. They are a high quality but low priced modification. My intention was to develop something that anyone could afford for their car.

The price on FCP is very good. They are listed on my website as well www.snabb.us but you can get them cheaper at FCP for now.

Hope that information helps!

Best regards,
Kristian woodall

Welcome, Kristian. Thanks for addressing this post. Please visit regularly.

If you have any pics/movies of your short shifter during manufacture, installation or use, please post them here (how to post YouTube vids, how to post photos) or forward to me and I will. Getting input/comments/opinion from the origin of aftermarket products is a treat for us.

This summer i was making one by myself but in my car it didnt work

I noticed that the 4th gear goes harder in then the other gears. And with the plate i had to always change the gear like:
clutch: 3th-Neutral
then again clutch: Neutral-4th (and push it hard in)
Reverse was the same

And I could not even make it so short like they make the kit - because i could not move the cable on the transmission by side.

just installed new shift cables and shift kit and shifter plate bushings
wow wat a difference shifts are smooth and crisp and short probably too short but what a difference did all three and it took 3 hrs to do everything the cables are a pita cause the clips are hare to remove and the cables only go in and out through the pass compartment sorry that i couldnt post pics or a walkthrough but man i love the way it shifts just gotta get an r clutch
definitely worth it
