short shifter 97 LGT

[Durs845]

alright i have a standard 97 LGT and im finding that the shifting is a little on the sloppy side.would a short shifter possibly feel less sloppy?if so...
which company makes a short shifter for a 97 LGT ?
who sells it?
whats an average price?
and how complicated is it to install?
thanks

installation is a snap for the shifter. the bushing is a little more complicated in that you have to get under the car, but really no big deal. it's well worth the extra money and effort.

no complaints. i had it on my first WRX too, and am looking at it again for this one.

is this cr@p ? im finding out if it comes with new bushings , and how much shorter the shaft is.

the range of models and MYs seem too broad. mark might wanna chime in on this and give a blurp about his experience.

you can get a genuwine STi one if you want to pay the price. STi tranny mounts help too, but much send more vibration throught the car.

new bushings will help the smoothness more than a short throw. short throws generally reduce smoothness.
