nospmoht04 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I think I'm gonna grab a short shifter pretty soon but I'm not sure if I need other components to install it. I say this because I've been told by a couple different people that since I have the factory short shifter on my Specb 6MT that I need to "revert back to the stock set up" before installing an aftermarket set up. I guess I should have asked details because I don't know if they're referring to bushings or linkage components or what. I have no idea. I searched a bit but I couldn't find anything specific to this, and I just got off the phone with a dealer and they had no idea. Cobb is closed today. Any input?

sahrbjr Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I dont think you need anything other then what comes with the new kit your buying. That will have all the neccessary hardware as long as your buying a complete kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 PM BAC5.2 I'm sure he'll be able to help. But I also think everything would come with the kit. Make sure the tranny is in netural when you bolt it together. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

nospmoht04 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hm alright well thanks. I know it sounds weird but 2 different people had mentioned that same thing so I figured I'd throw it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviman Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 All that most short throw shifters do is alter the place where the linkage attaches to the arm. So if the sts kit specifically says it should fit your car, your golden. Although there is a chance that the sts kit might not be any shorter than your stock shifter!

nospmoht04 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 The factory short is pretty long, the Cobb or kartboy has to be shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
