i hate to quarrel, but i am quite sure shift knobs don't make the shift throws any shorter.Originally posted by EricP3
Yeah, the knob already makes the throw a little shorter.
you could saw off your shifter so it was three inches high, it'd still have shift throws the exact same length.
what makes a short shifter a short shifter is how far the angle(throw) between gears is. short shifters should be called short throw shifters, because a short shifter won't do anything unless it changes the angle of the throw.
think about it... how are your shifts going to be any quicker if you still have to move the shifter 40 degrees from 1st to second? think how much faster your shift would be if you only had to move the shifter say, 15 or 20 degrees.
think of it like your cock. just because it's short, doesn't mean it takes any less time to aim it at a urinal.(oh snap! haha)
:D okay so that was graphic, but i'm just trying to illustrate my point.
