does anyone know a site where i can buy a short shifter for a 2004 neon R/T

 

www.MaddogSTS.com

^^Best short shifters on the planet. I have the 72% reduction and its amazing!

 

Has anyone else here ever just cut some length off the stock shifter, replaced the bushings, and put an aftermarket **** on it? Leverage-wise (and physics-wise)it seems to me that the throw and feel would work out the same... just curious if anyone ever tried that and an aftermarket short-throw and noticed a difference.

 

i was going to get a megan racin short shifter for mine but it wont fit wen i do da swap

 

Its more based on the shifter geometry, not so much the actual leverage of the rod/****. On the rod style aftermarket STS's for example, they are generally 1" shorter compared to stock, and give a 30% left to right throw reduction, and no throw reduction from front to back. On the otherhand, an entire STS assembly such as the Mopar (30%), Mopure (50%), and Maddog (50%, 72%, 80%)have actually changed the shifter geometry to reduce the throw in every direction up to 80% (Maddog). Harder bushings wouldnt shorten the throw either, they are designed to eliminate or reduce the play in the shifter cables on the assembly side and transmission side.


If your talking about the SRT-4 swap...we use the same shifters they do. But dont waste your money on a rod style STS, becuase that only shortens the throw left to right, not front to back.

 

i got a mopar short throw ****fter is that good or should i return it and get a maddog and have the option of easily returning it

 

I had the Mopar for a little over a year before I switched to the shorter 72% Maddog STS so it is a great STS overall.

 

do u think i should sell the mopar shifter

 

If you want a shorter throw then sell the Mopar and by a Maddog.
