WTF!?!? Find me a legitimate thread that has any proof that a short throw shifter had ANYTHING to do with premature wear on any transmission components. Is it a game for you to make stuff up in every thread you post in? Or is it just easier to get called out, and come back later to say your ADD was kicking in, or that you didn't get enough sleep, or..... :nonono:
Mark
you obviously suck at reading
"this is all in my own opinion I have no evidence to back this up, based upon what I have witnessed over the years being on CEG, short shifters are the reason for prematurely worn out transmission components."
to me it just makes sense, putting additional stress on any components is going to reduce the use able life of any parts, to me its like... putting a turbo on a motor, that turbo gives you more power, which allows you to go faster, w00t you get to go faster. However a turbo isn't going to make your motor last any longer, its going to wear certain parts of that motor out sooner, maybe if you put a turbo on and drive the car like an old man for the rest of the life it doesn't make any difference, but chances are if you have a turbo, you are going to take advantage of that... I know I would
just like a short shifter, like I said, it requires more torque from the driver to put the car into different gears, chances are if someone got a short shifter, they are going to take advantage of the faster shifting throws, in which case run their car harder. Ramming the car through gears obviously isn't good for the trans, through co-relation; short shifts = bad for transmission components.
Mark, show me some evidence that says a short shifter is good for the transmission, other then your word. Like I said, its purely opinion based, reasoning for me not to get a short shifter.
