Looks like a short-throw shifter to me. What makes you think it is just a short shift rod? Anyway...never heard of it.

STS does not go under the hood. It is the shifter itself 5MT or 6MT.
There are a few diff kindas of short throw shifter.
There are shifters that are shorter in height ONLY. This still reduces throw. The reduces throw b/c it is shorter.
Now, there are short throw shifters that are the same height as the OEM shifter but reduces the throw.

the thread's poluted but i'll post anyways
a fellow altima owner bought the shifter and said it does shift shorter. i don't remember if he said it sits lower tho. Also, the bottom part was so long that he had to bend his heatshield. In addition, the ball pivot was too small to fit in the rubber race thingy.
In conclusion, he said it wasn't worth the low price.
If you're willing to wait, I'm prototyping individual shifters for 3rd, 4th, and 5th gens from KartBoy (www.kartboy.com). He's had success with Altima shifters and I want to make shifters to specific generations of maximas to maximize potentials.
