Brilliant research from the Mid-South Champion.

I think its important to note that really what everyone wants that is in favor of a new shifter, is actually an improved shifter mechanism not a short shifter. It just so happens that all the aftermarket parts which improve the shifter mechanism, also incorporate a shorter shift attribute to them. If there was an all billet component we could purchase to replace the plastic stuff, that would work. We just need to find a solution, other than fix old parts, which shores up the shifting feel and provides a better connection between car and driver so we reduce the potential for money shifts.

Not knocking it at all and no disrespect intended, i think it's a very innovative solution. I would love to try it, just have to stay within the rules.

I have no doubt that it would improve the feel of the shifter but what I meant is that eventually it could result in the failure of the plastic bushing in question. My reasoning is it would still be sloppy but the shorter throw would mask the problem while putting greater stress on the plastic piece that is the root of the problem.

This is offending part.

Some wanted to see a clearer pic of the problem area.
