RE: Skunk2 short shifter

Thanks Flip, I plan on getting those bushings ASAP. I'm already getting used to the clanging in 5th and R.

my dual bend short shifter does the exact same thing, i wouldnt really worry about it, unless its rubbing REALLY bad. Skunk2 makes great short shifters, but quite a few people (myself included) have Ebay short shifters and they work just fine.I heard somewhere that short shifters shorten the life of your tranny, but not really sure why, oh well, i'm keeping mine. Also, i HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend getting some polyurethane bushings for your shift linkage. Makes SUCH a difference and its like $12 shipped. You should just do it at the same time when you're down there installing the short shifter.

Is that really true?????

Looks like you have it backwards. Is that a dual bend?

Yea is it backwards?
Also, did you replace the bushings? That is probably your problem. Also IMO short shifters are ghey and the shorten the life of your transmission. Grab a CTR shifter FTW

thats from my thread about installing my short shifter
