Looking 4 a short throw shifter...

Any body know where to get a good short throw shifter?

I dont know of any but have you thought of a different knob.. I got a voodoo which sits i think 1/2" to 1" lower than stock which in return gives you the feel of a short throw really love how mine is and sits great in your hand as long as you don't have tiny hands that is

I think that you'll be much happier with a good (like, Voodoo; Ricks has them) countersunk shift knob.

I had it in my AP1 for about three years.

Looks like Voodoo is the way to go....The polished black one with yellow engraving will go perfect with my s2k just sucks that the engraving is $70 when the shift knob is only $40.

Is the engraving it self $70... You may be able to bring it some where and get it engraved for less... Who needs the engraving you know where the gears are

So is that your car in your pic the yellow one... Thought i have seen that over on s2ki

Custom engraving is $70. The shift pattern engraving is $40 extra.

from Rick's site:
* As an option, you can have the six speed shift pattern engraved into the top of the knob as shown for an extra $40

When I first got my S, I was fine with the length of the throw, but I just felt the shifter was a little too tall for my comfort. I would go to shift and invariably my hand would grab just a little too low, by about an inch. I remember thinking "Dammit! I'm going to have to blow a bunch of money on a short shifter just because I can't acclimate to the location of the stupid knob!"
Then I found out about the Voodoo knob, bought one, and I've been all smiles ever since!
