stock shifter and a barton two post bracket. Looking for a UPR/JHR shifter soon. Are you sure King that its 25% i remember it being way more then 25% cuz it was notchy as all hell. Worse then my cobra
Ya, most shifters are a 20-25% reduction. That is the max you can get with out having a issue with the left to right gates being too short to reach. Only the Barton can add more because of it's dual pivot trunnion.
I liked my SR shifter and Steeda bracket. It was smooth and had less deflection than the stock bracket of course. But the SR was sub par quality. I am sure a Steeda or JHR shifter will be made with better materials and be machined better.

yeah mgw is 25%. i kept asking george if they would make a shorter throw SS and he said no.
i might be looking back at a MGW, after seeing i someone's shifter on here break right in half that got me scared a bit but then again that happened due to him trying to drop the trans right?
i have but im still finding it hard to cough up $400 on a shifter
Same here. I don't have a dire need for a shifter right now, so I keep finding other things to spend my money on. Haha
I did not read through this thread and I dont know if it was mentioned or not but get a MGW shifter.

Well my steeda shows up today from LMR. Excited to get this thing in and report my findings. Going to use the red bushing. Can't wait to see how it feels.
Took my car with the barton 2 post and factory shifter yesterday very little nvh but can shift 2 to third like a pro. The throw on the factory manual is fine for now but if I see a deal on mgw or barton might be tempted... Good luck on the install with the steeda and report back how you like it.
Well, that was one of the easiest 15-minute installs I have done. Very simple and straight forward. I used the red bushing and MAN, what a difference. I HAVE FOUND 3RD GEAR! No joke, I have never hit 3rd so hard in this car since it was so difficult to find. The shifter performs as expected now. With the combination of the Steeda bracket and my 401A shifter, I am 100% satisfied. Money well spent and mission accomplished. Normal driving, you couldn't tell anything was done with the exception of the slightly firmer feel.
You must have had your car on a lift because I tried installing the red bushing lying on my back and there was NO WAY unless there is some magic technique that I couldn't figure out. I ended up using the black bushing which works fine.
Just a tall jack actually and a jack stand for safety. Basically, I installed it sideways, putting on the small end as much as I could then using the leverage of the big end I was able to squeeze it over. Once it was on past the lip I turned it until it was properly seated in the groove. Then I pushed the assembly up and slid on the aluminum frame. Was a little PITA but not too bad. I almost thought about slicing the red bushing in the same manner the black one is sliced. Hope this helps.
