What is a short shifter?
A short throw shifter reduces the distance between gear changes to deliver faster, more precise, and sportier shifts. Its taller design shortens travel from the steering wheel to the knob, enabling quicker gear changes. It ranks among the most effective upgrades for both race and street cars. Providing drivers with sharper feedback, better control, greater confidence behind the wheel, and an authentic, connected driving experience that makes you feel one with your car.
