Axial flow short throw shifter probably. Cheap, easy to install and really changes the character of the car for the better. Next would probably be the AccessPORT, but ask me when I've got an updated tune finally........

hmmm Idk short shifter just isn't my style. I am a fan of the stock shifter. Fits in my hand like a glove. Plus it just gives more of a classic stick shift look, which I personally love.

Yes, I do know what a short shifter is. But I just prefer the stock one that is all.

But keep them coming I like hearing what you all enjoy.

the axial flow short shifter will do only one thing.. make the throw of the shifter shorter. It's not physically shorter then the stock in length (ok.. maybe a tiny bit) but it will completely change the feel of shifting the car for the better. It will look and feel stock to you while the car is sitting, but as soon as you start shifting you'll understand why everyone loves this shifter.

I would really suggest this mod to anyone who purchases an 8. I would also suggest you go to a local meet and ask someone there who has one (trust me, someone will) to let them have you drive their car. You'll be placing your order the next day.
