I have had my car since 2005 and would like to put a short throw shifter in. Is there a kit that most of you prefer? Seems like most of the posts are fairly old. Thanks
LETSLA for short shift adjustability SSC shift and crossgate cables for smoother shifting along with Stan's mod or a shift reinforcer to keep flax down in the shifter. MWR sells them all
Inokinetic also has a short shift kit that came out just last year. https://www.inokinetic.com/lotus/short-shift-kit. They also have a replacement shifter and a floor reinforcer that all work individually or together.
i have the inokinetic shiftr111 package with cables and reinforcer along with a letsla short shifter. The IK parts contributed to probably 70% of the shift feel improvement - I did the letsla last and it really put it over the top. All parts as a complete kit completely transformed the driving experience - if I could do it all over again it would be one of my first mods for sure.
Our short throw kit is installed at the gearbox and is fixed for simplicity/reliability. Ours offers a 19% reduction - which I think is perfect as these gearboxes do not like really fast shifts. This reduction is noticeable in throw length and helps reduce slop in the throw. See it: here
You can watch the install video (starts at 1:45min): HERE
