Another Short Shift Post

Here is my question that has not been answered in any search. Is the Revo Short Shifter unique in that it reduces throw and height? Or is it just the reduced height that causes the illusion of tighter shifts? If it is just the height then a DIY is the way to go, if not I will buy the revo. Hopefully someone can answer?

Im not sure about that, i have the solo short throw and it does nothing for the actual hieght of my shifter, just shortens the distance. that bad boy is sweet though

carboncivic - you did not answer his question, he wants to know if the revo is actually designed to reduce the throw (different connection points for the cables, etc.) or is it the fact that it is just shorter that gives the feel and effect of shorter throws?

my bad..... it does create shorter throws because of the shorter height.... anything else?

It is just shorter in height.. uses exact same mounting setup for the OEM Shifter.. Cut the shifter.. get an Solo or Neuspeed SS adapter..

Cheers

I have the revo and I love it. I have beat many cars simply because I have the ability to shift faster. While the shifter is about an inch shorter, it does reduce the throw by a very noticable amount. It is the exact same setup, but the difference comes in the lengh of the shifter, and I also noticed that the spot that the cables hook up to is a bit different also. If you get it, I promise you won't be dissappointed.

It changes the mounting points exactly like the solo does, and it is shorter in height because it is a real shifter, not an adapter
