Guys, remember it not the size of your shifter. It's how you use it!


Or at least that's what all the guys with short shifters say.

Bill, no disappointment I just need to get used to it. It surprisingly is pretty easy to shift, even being so low. I had a short-throw on my 350 and l loved it, so I knew going into it, that I would love it. It's just the ARC sits extremely low, but like I said, I'm getting used to it.

Yeah, give it a chance. Like I said, I wouldn't think twice about going back to stock. I love the short shifts. Here are a couple pictures to give you an idea of the height difference between that sexy ARC **** and the Tommy Kaira ****...

It's like a second bellybutton.

Your wife is right, your shaft is too short. Not enough for her to grab. Easy to slip in your hand. A pain to shift in pressure situations. Get some surgery on that thing.

Thanks for the laughs and your input gentleman. It's actually easier to drive than it looks, so I'm getting used to it rather quickly.

If you change your boot to a shorter one it looks way better. I had the same issue ..
