This short throw shifter is on my car and it's a PITA to shift in the winter. Can anyone tell me which short throw this is from these pics, is it adjustable?

Thanks.

I don't think that it is your shifter that is the problem. I think it is your fluid. When is the last time you changed your transmission fluid? Does it get easier when it warms up a little bit? I had the same issue when it got cold with my S13. Now, I know it is not the same car, but I put a SLIGHTLY thinner fluid in there and it got easier. It did not go away 100%, but it helped a lot.

 

Yeah, you are partly right. I recently acquired the car, so I have no idea what's in there or when it was changed last. On my last Maxima, I had redline in there and it did make a world of difference, but when I changed back to the stock shifter I couldn't believe how much easier the shifting was. So I am planning to take your advice, but I was hoping to attack it from both ends. I know some STS's are adjustable, and backing the short throw off a little might help as well.

 

Just looking at it, it's not adjustable unless there's an adjustment under the car.

Looks just like stock to me

 

 

Looks stock to me as well.

 

Throw seems way to short to be stock. It's about 2-3 inches less than my 99.

 

Thanks Crime! Good job on quoting that so I will forever be a tool!! HeHe

 

I don't have that silver piece holding the ball pivot in place. Is that a 99-only feature? Or is that in fact an aftermarket shift kit?

I think it's a stillen shifter.
