Default Short Throw Shifter

What short throw's do ya'll have?


What is the best short throw shifter in your opinion? I plan on getting one soon. I want the smoothest shifts I can get, but I wanna be able to race with it too.

IMO the best on the market is the MGW short throw shifter. I love mine, have had it for over a year now with no problems and it makes the car so much more exciting to drive. I have heard good things about the Steeda Tri-ax but I personally have never used it.
