Best short shifter?
 
I was wondering if i could get peoples opinions on various short shifters for the fd. Which one is the best/most popular?

I have the B&M and like it. I just sold a gotham one so I could see how he likes that one if no one chimes in.

C's if you like a really short shift between gears. I know some don't like it because the throw is so short.

+1 for C's

I have been using RE-Amemiya for months and even though it's not the most extreme(short shifter) on the market for the price and fit and smoothness it's a WIN. good luck

how much smaller are these 3 different shifters from the original, I read the the re shifter is 20% shorter... is it true? what about the others

pretty sure it's around 30% but not 100% sure. the fit and finish is very OEM. and i did see a difference in the throw. it's not the most aggressive(short) one out there but super NICE.

Yup, i have the same combo.

I went through alot of shifter/shift knob combos and this is the one im sticking with til the end.

insomniac and KaiFD3S,

Do you guys ever experience any rattling with the C's ?

I have the Gotham shifter, and it rattles, and it's only slightly shorter than stock. I was going to make a rubber insert and see if that stops the rattling, but if not, I was considering the RE Amemiya shifter, and now I'm considering the C's.
