A short shifter just shortens the throw when you change gear I think the standard throw is fine as it's already a short and tight throw, best I've experienced on the cars I've driven. It helps to speed up your gear change and helps eliminate crunching and wrong gear selection.

it just makes your gear shifts shorter, :lol: lol beat me to it shoonk^^^hey! somebody recommended a buddyclub short shifter to me as a good mod but i dont really know what sort of benefits it will have to me. do i have to be running other supporting mods to make it beneficial to me? or will it still have effect standard.
thanks

Ive got one, and its a pretty awesome mod for the money. think mine was £250 new, but they are cheaper if you can find a second hand one. As stated above, it shortens the throw of the gearstick, makes it feel firmer.
Ive been told Buddyclub have stopped making these so finding one might not be that easy.

I had one on my DC5. Good piece of kit and made shifting feel a lot nicer.
When I had an EP3 I used the Neuspeed style one from Tegiwa. Much cheaper option but still gave a nice throw and feel.

Neither are difficult to fit if you're handy with a spanner. But the Tegiwa is easiest.

Not that Ive heard, but I have been told the Tegiwa Solid Shifter Bushes arn't the best.

Depends how hard you push your gearbox, Have seen B&M Short shift kits on the Renault Sports massively increase synchro wear, But Renault gearbox's are far from solid
