SPT Shortthrow shifter review
Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2001 1:18 pm
hi all...
I installed the SPT Shortthrow shifter last weekend, and have spent
all week "evaluating" it.
Installation was very simple! It wend in almost as easily as the old
one came out. my only problem was that i didn't have a punch-pin
thingie to get out the shifter retaining pin, so i had to borrow a
neighbors. If you plan on installing it, remember to keep the spring
from your old one, you'll need it for the shortthrow.
But down to the gritty. As my shifter bushings were 11 years old,
these new ones are quite firm! The shift is about half of the old
throw, and again, very firm. banging through the gears is nice and
solid, definitly reduces shift time.

At just over $200 bucks, it's something cool to do if you have a
couple bucks lying around that you can't decide what to do with. I
suppose i could have saved it for tuition, but what the hell, i only
live february 2001 once, right?
On another note; we finally have some real snow up here in Washington
(at least for a couple more hours)... Happy AWD hunting!
