This week on Money Pit, we’re replacing the 26 year old oem shifter with a Short Shifter. Along the way we’ll take a look at how short shifters actually make shifts shorter and we’ll see if it’s a worthy mod.
I’m also going to start including links to all the stuff that we use on the show for anyone that wants to check them out!

    Stainless brake lines do make a difference lol especially on a Miata. Stock rubber brake lines get old and expand more with brake pressure and you loose that pressure in the line instead of at the pedal and at the brakes. It made a huge difference for me and as well as many others. Same thing goes for clutch lines. You top it all off with a brake master brace and expect greatness

    100% agree about the feel. Had a Z that had been swapped to a short shift by the previous owner. People that rode with me couldn't even tell I was changing gears because of how much faster it was, which meant less time for the rpms to drop and less effort matching. Solidly one of the best things that can be changed on a manual transmission.

    Seems like most kids who put em in clapped out VWs take them out the next week. It's too fast and overwhelms the synchros and you get a nice little click going into the next gear. So you have to actually slow down your shift so it doesn't clash. Waste of time.
