Short Shifter
Hi,
I did a few searches, and I couldn't find the numbers I was looking for.
I'm trying to make a decision on a short shifter. I'm considering rx7store version, Petit racing, or C's.
Does anyone know what the shift reduction percentage is on a C's? I just read that it is specified as 25%, but that doesn't sound right to me; not for the price.
I've read (on rx7club), the Petit shifter has a 60% reduction and the rxstore shifter has a 50% reduction. Did I get this right?
Thanks guys,
C

Great info...
Anyone have a photo of a Petit/rx7store shifter installed? Of course I want the technical aspects of it; but for the money I want to make sure it looks the part too.

B&M Is the only one I have seen thats different from all the rest, but also there is ANOTHER thread about it rattling, but some people swear its the best...

I recently installed the B&M short throw shifter and I'm very amazed on how much actualy that thing does shorten the throw, yet tightens the shifter I'd say 50% or more tighter than before,
I'm truly owned by this thing, never thought it would be such a difference from before.
I don't regret a penny spent on it...

I'm running one from Gotham Racing and love it, I don't know about the others, but I would definently suggest it or another like it to any one even curious, if you don't like it, you can sell it and take a small loss.

I like my Gotham, but my bushing has failed. I believe its the original factory bushing.
