Installed the new Axial Flow short shifter today and WOW! I can shift with fingertips while my arm rests on the console! Have a little trouble getting into reverse at times though. Has anyone else experienced this?

 

No problem getting into reverse,with mine;give it a little time...

 

Hey Emil! Does it just take getting used to or does it loosen up with use?

 

damn.. i just used the counter-struck knob and thats all ready short too. Can't imagine it with a short shift.

 

I have both and it IS SHORT!

 

does the new one vibrate at high speed shifting? this was an issue with the old one

 

It loosen up with use...+ you will get use to it...

 

I was concerned about problems with the old one- main reason I didn't pull the trigger a few years back. I haven't experienced any noise or vibration with mine. Ran it pretty hard to redline many times today.

 

the reason I asked because a few years backs the axial did not have the rubber cushion around the shifter like oem. It caused a lot of vibrations during high speed shifting. So basicly, you are substituting one symptom for another

 

Sounds great! I never considered doing a short-shifter on this car being that the stocker is pretty short, but I've always wanted to test-drive an S with that mod.
