Default new short throw

Well I just put in my short throw shifter from the ws6 store, what I want to know is how does this performance modification make a car faster?

still wrong my friend....take the last "s" off. and as sladex said it's a hell of a lot easier to shift, no more missing 3rd if you where before.

btw nice hawk.

No they do not. Another advantage is that you can shift harder without breaking any thing.

the short throw is about 50 grams lighter,making your car lighter,making it faster.

Seems like this would have been a great question to ask just before putting in the shifter...

The answer is, it doesn't; it makes the driver faster
