Default I need a short shifter...

After two weeks with my new to me 2016 s with manual transmission, I can agree that the factory shifter is incredibly imprecise. I have found myself either not going into a gear or more often than not the wrong gear because of the super long throws. I have to actively think about the correct gear versus every other manual I've driven.

Are there other people interested in a short shifter group buy again?

I can commit to getting another production run made if we can get 4 or 5 commitments. They would be $250 delivered in the continental U.S. Let us know if you need it delivered elsewhere.


Here's more info: https://www.short-shifters.com/s645-shift.html

Bump. Surely some of you manual guys can use one, too. Who's in?

I believe this forum represents 100% of their sales to date, so they would need to get those reviews from us. If I can get just 3 or 4 more commitments, I'll probably get set up as a forum sponsor so I can flagrantly flog these shifters.

I haven't reviewed on their site because I got in as part of Lance's (Unhingd) first batch.

As I noted on this forum previously, this feels the way it should have been from the start. I installed it myself, solo, in the driveway on stands, without dropping the exhaust. Unless you're a stubborn masochist like me, I'd recommend an assistant, a lift, or having someone else do it.

***** Would buy again!

ditto would buy again . Jag should buy the design and make it standard for a standard! Night and day improvement.
