Short Throw Shifter

Hey im just wondering what everyone's view is on the best short throw shifter that is made for an Evo...ive been checking out the perrin but just wondering if i should go with an adjustable or stick with something that is solid.

+1 on the adjustable B&M set at 45%. You have to get the bushings and the heaviest counter weighted knob possible.

i had the B&M adj. on my 03 8 with the metal bushings (base) and the two piece under the hood with the razo 340 graham shift knob. It was like day and night difference in shifting,nice clean, accurate shifts. it felt fantastic and even much better when i added the excedy twin.

I have the same 340 gram and i like it a lot. The shifter/knob sits much lower. The heavy weighted knob helps with the throws and the bushings make things very smooth.
