Quick Shifts - Whats the crack?
Hi all,
Looking to get a quick shift for my '05 WRX but i still don't know what to do about it.
Are the shorter sticks that you can get for £50 any good?
If not am i gonna have to fork out and get a whole assembly. Subaru's own is £200!
And does all of this really make a big difference. Or is it just to help lazy people.

And the amazing deduction into having "less throw on the stick".
Anyone else actually got some USEFULL advice on getting a quick shift?
Just want to know if it reduces it by a large amount. Some adverts only say 10% reduction in travel.
Is just getting a shorter stick adequet or perhaps a whole new system.

I put a shortshift in my MY03 WRX two weeks ago and I think it's fantastic! I got a JW racing one second hand from a guy on this forum. It was a bugger to fit as it's a case of trying to fit a ball in a socket but worth the effort. The reduction in movement is quite considerable and change feels more precise. I think it's to do with the fact that it requires a bit more effort to move the gear stick but it doesn't need to move as far.
Hope this helps,
