Best Short Shifter?
#31
the tuner's (and in my opinion, the correct) interpretation of moss-magnusson, in this case:
If your synchros go bad, this could be attributed to the short shifter because the throws are now shorter and this could contribute to the excessive wear of synchros during normal and "spirited" driving.
Otherwise, it should affect no other OEM parts if installed improperly. If you screw up the install, then... well... you sucky sucky long time. And i'm sure it will cost you more than 5 dorrar.
The dealership, however, might think differently.

I doubt many places would even do aftermarket installs for insurance and legal reasons. I know that it's hard to find a place to install aftermarket brakes. That being said, a shifter can be done on the street with a set of jack stands and it takes less than an hour. Frankly you'll probably need adjustment anyway after installation and it's not prudent to keep bringing it back to a shop for 3 minutes worth of work you can do with a screwdriver in a parking lot
