Hey everybody, quick question, does anybody know where exactly I can find the stillen short throw shifter from way back when they were actually making them? The next thing I'm working on my 5-spd 00 GLE is the clutch because it's never been changed, and I have a gear oil leak in the rear main seal, so I figured may as well do an overhaul. I've stuck with the original shifter for about two years now, and love the feeling of it! My mom bought the car new from the dealership way back when, and passed it down to me.What I'm interested in, is seeing how a short throw shifter would feel with my new clutch since I decided to upgrade to a more aggressive clutch for that stronger bite because right now I have to push the clutch in all the way to the floor to switch gears. For me being 6'5 that's no problem at all, I just figured it's time to swap it out because I drove an 02 M3 for a few minutes with a new clutch in it, and my god....what a difference it is having a brand new sport clutch. A little off topic here, I know, main point is, if there are no stillens anywhere at all, what would be the next best short throw shifter? I was considering the TWM, but I'm uncertain about it due to the height reduction of it because for me it's perfect height where the stock shifter currently sits, and TWM doesn't list the thread size of the STS, so it's difficult to choose the right **** if I do decide to go with TWM. Thoughts anyone?

You want a short shifter but stock height? Stillen would be the worst choice as it is a few inches shorter than stock even with the pivot adjusted to the top.

A Pacesetter quick shift is the best I've tried. I'd recommend that or the SMC which it is based off.
