    Quick short shift question.

    Alright, I searched and searched and searched, but I'm still not 100% sure on this. So will a 2g eclipse short throw kit fit on the 7g? Is there any modding that needs to be done to it or will it just bolt up? Thanks

    yes it will fit. No modification neccessery. Takes about 10 minutes to install. I highly reccomend installing some upgraded shifter baseplate bushings. Steel are the best by far. Get the Symborski kit.

    Get the B&M replica kit. Do not get the OBX shifter.

    our stock shifter throw is rediculously long, but when u think about it being meant as a family car it makes sense.

    upgraded base bushings are a must. im either going to cut and weld mine or get a short shifter come spring

    I dont have a stock shifter. I have a "short shifter" but its still long as fuck. I was just wondering if anyone has switched to the eclipse short shifter already and is it really short...well shorter than the one I have
