Does anyone know about these short shifters?

[Dead91silvia]

Hey guys, I want a short shifter for my 1998 Legacy GT Automatic. I think I could really benefit from a short shifter in my car! CD's would be easier to change when it's in park and also I just think it would be faster!

Any ideas? I really want it to be titanium and carbon fiber! :smile:

Short shifters are for manual transmissions, their purpose it to reduce lever travel at the expense of added effort. If what you want is a shift knob, just check eBay, autozone, etc.

Well, I've never seen anything being sold as a unit, but here is the exploded diagram of the auto stick internals:

#15 is the shaft the releases the shifter when you push the button
#16 is what the shifter knob/handle sits on top of

So you'd probably be looking at cutting both of those shorter and putting an aftermarket knob of some kind on there.
