Renegade Motorsports Short Throw Shifter Review/Thoughts
#11
I have been very interested in getting a short shifter for my ap2. Like you, I had no gripes with the stock shifter at all, especially when paired with a countersunk knob. But having driven well engineered short shifters in other cars, I really enjoy that feeling. My biggest fear with getting one would be mis-shifting while playing around. I have bent valves once when I was younger in a GSR due to a money shift and have been paranoid since.
Do you feel like there is an increased chance of mis-shifting with this compared to stock? I know it is all about technique, but some short shifters can be a little trickier than others.
Btw.. SC represent! haha, if you're ever in Charleston, I'd like to feel it first hand!

I went for a 10 min or so drive after installing mine and got used to the shifter pretty quickly. I don't foresee a mis-shift happening as a result of the decreased throw. After a week I completely forgot what the stock shifter felt like in comparison LOL.

i was running an axialflow for a while then got tired of it, but when i saw first renegade started the preproduction run i hopped on immediately. i never did a write up but the compared to my axialflow is far superior. now its just a paper weight lol.
