how much shorter does the shifter sit installed in the car. Like is it 1 in shorter than stock or what???

 

not throw length just heigth wise

 

It sits relatively close to stock height, if you ask me.

I went from some off-name brand notchy POS short-throw to the RE-Anemiya and I love it.

What's really going to make the shifter feel lower, if that's what you're looking for, is the shift **** you use.

I use the stock shift-****, which I like because of it's weight and feel. It makes the height feel relatively stock, but the throw itself is nice and short, and shifts like butter.

:]

 

Mine reminds me of the stock shifter in my '01 Miata.

 

Hello

Our D1 spec short shifter is aound 1/2 inch shorter than the stock one.
But some other differences.

There used to be many short shifters for FD3S in Japan.
All the other products were just shortened.
Then, shifting feeling got worse.

Our idea about short shifter is quite different.

Short shift travel and good feeling.

I will post pics later.

 

So the throw is short and smooth or is it notchy? How easily does it install (any modifications required)?

 

got one and love it... so much smoother..

 

yea the big thing with the re-a shifter is the feel. just a shorter throw alone is overated as far as im concerned.

 

Very smooth shifter. Not notchy at all. Simple swap over. No mod required. Very much worth it, as I will not go back to stock...

 

There's a picture of it in this thread:

From that picture, it looks like you could just cut an inch or so off the stock shifter, run some new threads and save yourself a couple of hundred dollars.

 

Our short shifter is NOT just a shorter one.
If so, many copy products available.

I will post pics about details in a couple of days.

 

The RE Amemiya D-Spec shifter I bought looks exactly like the one Majik posted a pic of.
The specs and/or length of fulcrum point is not really the issue, though. Like I mentioned earlier, this shifter feels like the shifter out of an NB Miata, which IMO is the best-feeling shifter I've ever used.
Not notchy, just not loose in your hand, and a flick of the wrist is all it takes to go through the gears. I'm definitely stoked on my purchase.

 

ok so ill just order my shift boot about a half in shorter than lol. Thats all i wanted to know thanks guys!!

 

Anyone know of a vendor that has this in stock?

 

PM me ! Torque Monster.

I will give yo more details.

 

A short shifter ussually doesn't have a shorter stick, maybe a little. But most of their effect is achieved by modifing the mechanism under it.
