Thinking about getting a short shifter as well as a VooDoo Countersunk Shift knob. Havent found to many reviews regarding the short shifter, but of what I hear, Team VooDoo is the way to go. Rick's does not have any short shifters right now. Any opinions on the short shifter and shift knobs?

anyone else have suggestions about a short shifter? ricks doesnt have any available. looks like an easy install and can decrease the throw by 30-50%

I love my Voodoo knob. It really does shorten things up a bit and feels much better than the stock one. I'd probably get the shift knob first and if you still need a shorter throw, go for a short shifter.

Ryan,

They are no longer made and our last stock is gone. Sorry.

Rick



looks like the shift knob is the way to go.

IDK... I wouldn't bother with a short shifter. I mean, the S2000 has a pretty short throw shifter already. Just get a counter sunk knob like the S2000 CR and you should be fine.

the aluminum pearl is 45 and the titanium is 145. is there really a HUGE difference besides weight and material. is it worth the 100.00 extra? i was expecting to spend more money, so the 145 wouldnt be a huge deal, but for a shift know it is kinda a lot of money to dish out.

ARC TI - smaller than the VooDoo (and maybe a shorter throw ?)...

You'll be surprised how much different it feels. Almost like you have a short shifter installed already

I went with the aluminim pearl and applied the extra $100 on a 7/8th windscreen from ricks. Still spent the same amount of cash but got more stuff. I've had my pearl for almost 7 years now and am very happy with it.
