Yeah, if it was really bad, then 1 change to flush and a second to renew, before either putting up with it or taking further more drastic actions.

To echo Nafe's comments, the short shifter feels good, but will do absolutely nothing for gearbox crunch - that's entirely down to gearbox internals.

One slight downside with the short shifter to note, is that it pulls the cable inside the car at an unnatural angle, so it wears the cable on the top edge, unless you adjust the cable braket holder to change the angle of the cable.

Yeah, I knew what they are worth, and there comes a point..... :lol: ;)
TBH, I have another type that I -think- I prefer, it's short throw but actually shorter in height too.
I'll swap it back over and see. :)

I don't, there's a brother here in desperate need of some shifter love and your sat their with two! :lol:

Another type? What's that then? I have a simple Fidanza adaptor type one, but always wanted the Forbidden Motorsports one after taking a fellow lude for a spin. Let me know then Benny. 8)
