short shifter

[Catwood]

What's the one to get for the Gen 4? It needs to be lower, and shorter throws. Would like to keep the stock knob but it's not a deal killer.

Hi Catwood...we've gotten the MGW short-throw with blue Fangs logo knob for our '08. It's about the only thing we're changing...no mods needed this time around~! ~juli

I have an MGW mini shift knob and chrome shifter bezel for $100 if you want it.

Dave don't you just have a short shaft? I want something that actually goes into the tranny and changes the fulcrum point to reduce throws, not just the arc above.

Also...make up a seat lowering kit that allows front to back adjustments. That's gonna go on the list of things needed. I keep rolling up to far at lights and can't see those suckers.....

He's looking for the actual shifter mechanism, not the shortened knob/shaft.

I think MGW makes one for the '08/'09.

The MGW shifter is the ONLY choice along with his knob selection there is nothing better.

Is it the first strike or the gripper, and what color is the gripper at the top? Email me at [email protected]

The B&M is a very nice unit too.

The MGW is the best and dont try to color match its not close enough. I got the blue knob but I sent it back for the 3d fangs knob. The blue is more like purple.

Carl,

I installed Dave's 1-inch shorter shift piece (replaces the rubberized OE piece that screws into the top of the OE shift linkage) and with the OE shifter ball and shaft, it works very well for me.

Dave also has a two inch shorter piece and some others. Check our local website for more info.

PS Glad to have you "back in the saddle".

 

[J&R3xV10]

do yourself a favor and get a short shift first then if you don't like it get the shifter but you will be amazed the difference that you will feel with just a shorter shaft on the stock shifter on the 08/09

MGW

I had the Hurst shifter and then went with the MGW on my 06 coupe - the MGW was the best.

Since MGW does not make one for the GTS, and I already had the Hurst shifter, the Hurst will be installed.

I bought a Gunslinger pistol grip handle for my '06 and it effectively shortens the throw and it feels nice!!

 

[Catwood]

I hate to be dumb but isn't the '06 transmission different than the '08?

Stay tuned

MGW all the way. It's much beefier/ firmer than the stock shifter. The improvement in 2nd to 3rd shift is night and day. Also no more accidental 3rd to 2nd down shifts.

Did you do the install or pay for someone to do it?

The new MGW shifter is amazing!!! It is head and shoulders above the OEM. The install took about an hour using a lift. The hardest part is getting the new shifter back on top of the transmission plate to bolt down. It gets pretty messy with the high temp sealant. Other than that, piece of cake. I had ordered the MGW Gripper knob to go with it but in the box was the MGW First Strike. I wasn't really a fan of this style shown in the pictures but let me tell you, it is made to fit your hand. I would highly recommend it as a replacement over the OEM round ball style. The shifts are short and fast. This is an easy mod you can do that will make driving the Viper even better. I would say call Mark at Woodhouse today and get one ordered.
