Default shifter question

how do you guys think this shift handle would work?

obviously it wouldnt be as nice as a short throw shifter kit, but its a hell of alot cheaper and it would be easy to install by myself. im just looking for a little improved shift feel over stock, and a little bit shorter throws. let me know what everyone thinks, thanks!

I don't think it's going to improve your shift feel, b/c it's just the handle. I say save up for the shifter kit. It's a HUGE improvement over stock.

Waste of money. If budget is an issue, buy UPR's Short Throw Shifter. It's modeled after the triax.

It will bolt on, and let you shift gears just like the OEM lever...
