Default Short Shifter for an 04 Cobra

I am looking to get a short shifter for my Cobra and I was wondering if anyone can recommend one.

Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

Jeff

I think the B&M also makes one but I have to double check this.

Hi! Like I said I get back to ya,hehe! I have had the shifter in the car for over a week now and I must tell you it rocks! Im glad this was my very first mod to the car besides Steeda CAI but I wish the lever was closer to the driver although Steeda is releasing a different handle sometime next year that will actually position the shifter closre to you. I really like my shifts now especially going from 3-4, one thing I dont like about it is the 5-6 shiftis too close and if you are not watching you might rip it into 4th, I gueass I have to get use to it and pay more attention for a while. Good luck with decision, no matter which one you choose I think its the best mod to the car period.

Tman,
Couple of questions, is the handle further from you than the stock shifter? Can you now shift quicker from 2nd to 3rd than the stock shifter?

Hi! Its not further away than it was before but its a lot shorter towards the base so you do have to extend your hand a bit. What I noticed right away was the shift from 2 to 3, yes its much quicker and preciseand it clicks in to kind of let you know its sitting in the gear. Im gonna rip it on Saturday this week at the old airport a few times so I will let you know with more details.
