short throw shifter install
I just finished with the installation of the mwr short throw shifter and am quite satisfied to say the least. I gave it a 4 out of 5 simply because I couldn't get 5th or 6th gear with the plastic trim ring on the shifter boot. Every thing went smoothly until that point [with the exception of nearly breaking my 110v outlet ] but before I tried anything I did call monkey wrench and the tech who answered said that they had not heard of that problem but to check the cables for freedom of movement ... so after a partial uninstall I realized that keeping the stock appearance was out and now shift knob/ boot shopping is happening.

Re: short throw shifter install
The stock shift knob sits about two inches lower and the distance between first and second is less than half of stock. About an inch and a half. The biggest difference is having solid steel base versus that nylon one. It feels so much more precise. I didn't get bushings yet but having metal bolted tight to metal is nice no more missing gears. Compared to my swapping a focus svt into my standard and the one I put in my 86 civic is, its way better. I just need to get some more grease to ensure the operation stays smooth. As far as pics, my mobile pics are too big. How do I resize them?
Re: short throw shifter install
There are a plethora of ways to resize your pics. Most hosting services even offer ways online without a download, ie; Google photos, photobucket, imgur, etc. You can even try this as it works perfectly, as well> www.picresize.com/turner88 wrote:The stock shift knob sits about two inches lower and the distance between first and second is less than half of stock.
