Has anybody installed a short shift kit from either Neuspeed or AWE? What are your impressions? How long are your throws from third to fourth? I'm trying to get a comparison between my mod and an established 'tuner' mod.
I shortened my shifter throws inexpensively by buying a single part from the dealer and cutting and rewelding to shorten an arm in the mechanism and got an approx 30% reduction all for $11 compared to Neuspeed's $300 and AWE's $180.
My throws are about 4" from third to fourth. That's measured at the top of the shift knob. My shift lever is shortened 1.25" so it would be about 4.5 inches with a stock lever.
