Does Momo Shift Knob and Steering Wheel = Short Shifter?

[TMBLKDG]

My '05 has the Momo wheel and shift knob.  Does that mean I have a factory short shifter, or were these things all separate options?

The 3 spoke momo wheel was stock on some legacies. Not sure about the shift knob, but that's also an easy install for a potential previous owner. I don't think it indicated short throw.

Okay, thanks.  Any good way to tell whether I have a short shifter?  Not sure how to identify it.

Both my outback CT’s came with the momo wheel and shift knob and neither one were the short throw

If you are able to measure the throw distance between a couple of gates, I’m sure someone can do the same on a known short throw shifter. I’ve got a Cobb installed, so that may not be the same as a factory one, but it would give you an idea.

I’ve also got an unused OEM short throw in a box somewhere, if you’re looking for one.

I'll have to wait 'til I get the car back from the shop, but that's a good idea.

Not sure what route I want to go or if it's worth it but I'll keep this in mind!

No the STS was a different option in 05. In my wagon, I had the dealer install the STS and stock knob as well as the MOMO wheel, before I picked it up June 28 2004.

STS p/n is C1010AG000

MOMO knob p/n C1010SE000 (M/T) C101ESA000 (A/T)

 

Oh, I see the MOMO came in the car.(second page about 2" down) Oh, I also see the pre-delivery check list is dated June 29 2004. Yeah, I kept all that stuff.

Okay, I measured the throws and they're right about 3.5".

Does that help identify the shifter?

How does the stock STS compare to a Cobb or Kartboy?

My car is at the body shop, but I can take some measurements when I get it back next week.

Only ever driven one with stock shifter and mine with a Cobb. I like the short throw better. More effort to move the stick, but even considering that, I can shift with just my fingertips.
