I just got my short throw shifter installed this morning. I am a little dissapointed, I thought it was going to be a much shorter throw. But it only seemed that I got a slight change in the actaul throw.
Anyone else have the same impressions? |

Which one is it? Did you already have the STi short throw from the dealer?

The biggest improvement comes from the bushings... did you get those installed too?
Also, I was a bit disapointed w/ my Cobb shifter when I installed it, as it doesn't seem to make a big difference... but it's actually quite better once you get out and really drive the car, i.e. your shifts can be *much* faster, even if the throw doesn't seem that short.

As far as I can tell, they did change the bushings. The old ones are in the box. The car came with a standard shifter, so I had the dealership order a short or quick throw shifter to replace the standard one. I asked for the old parts for giggle sake.
I did start to notice some improved shifting after driving it to Yerington yesterday. Wilson Canyon is a blast. Thanks for the clarification, perhaps I just expected too much. Like a click for first and a click for second. Oh well. Thanks |

I know the one your talking about. I've driven that canyon many times in a 69 Ford f-250 loaded down with a cord of firewood. 5300 lbs of truck with 1000 lbs of wood doesn't make for the sweetest handling vehicle around.
I think I averaged about 70 through the canyon. YEHAAA ![]() |

Scott, Matt, didn't you guys do a group drive over Sonora Pass once? I'll bet that was interesting.
