Short Shifer Install on the Turbo X
Short Shifter Install on the Turbo X
Installed the Genuine Saab short shifter and bushing kit today. The stock shifter is rather pathetic a requires improvement. The install is straight forward and fairly easy. The hardest part for me was snapping the lower ball back into the socket. Took some measurements and the stock shifter distance, from big pivot ball to little ball is 2.90", center to center. The Genuine Saab extension adds 0.70", basically a 25% increase in length. Took some before/after pictures to show the change in throw. I kept the camera in the same location and lined up the photos in Photoshop, then reduced the transparency to get an overlay. The ghost knob is the stock location.
In my opinion, this is how the shifter should have come stock. I'm happy with it and it definitely feels better, but I would still prefer and even shorter throw.
