5.5 short shifter

Tried to search it out but got nothing, is there a short shifter made for the vq35 aka 5.5, because I need to stretch before I get into my car or else I may pull a muscle shifting such long distances

so you need to stretch because the shifter is long or because the throws are long? SS=\ STS.


"free sts" FTW

personally I'd do the free one and save the money for another mod on the Max.

Buy it, install the sts from twm and let us know!

Do the free one, the others will move the "neutral" position up about an inch. Doing the free STS you can have everything in the same place, just not as far.

every person is free to choose their own, and i chose the one that was free and hasnt had anyone breaking shift cables. it works great for me, and i got to choose where i wanted the shifter to sit(yeah, i did change that) AND how long the shifts are.

if youre sour because of overpaying, not my fault



PS: i took the money i saved and put it toward BC coilovers, thx

won't work,

theres the free one, twm, watkins, axxtion, and one more i can't think of that make a STS for a 5.5.

thos are your choices...as far as the b&m if you look close its the whole stick...the 5.5 STS are actuall 2 pices (for the good ones at least), one that goes on the tranny, and one that goes on hte "stick" in the car to recenter it. there is no full stick replacement for the 5.5 gen!

any other questions..."FREE SEARCH" them
