haha.... fast and furious was so lame.

Anyway..... I had a question dealing with the "feel" of some of these short shifters out there.

I have a 2000 audi a4 and was looking into a short shifter. however i like how my shifter now is... it feels like butter, so smooth.
When I upgrade to a short shifter I dont want to lose this feeling....i dont want a big clunky shifter that feels loose and not smooth. So far I have seen new shifters like diesel geek, neuspeed and obviously b and m but i have never actually tried any other shifter. Could anyone who has had experience changing their shifter leave me some feedback about the new feel in comparison to the old one? Thanks for any help.

 

I had a B&M on my quattro is was silky smooth.

 

Is it really that important to you? Are you hitting shifts so hard, that you need that 30% shorter throw? If not, why bother? Save that money for a chip.

 

I just installed my neuspeed in my 2000 1.8T this past saturday. It feels tighter and more precise than it used to, and still feels very very smooth. I bought mine used, so am happy with the benefits for the cost.

 

if its a good SS the ball will be larger and this will eliminate that rough feeling in first and second gear, in other words it will be smoother.

 

ive got a ss on my 99.5 from neuspeed and it feels great. Much tighter shifts which eleminates missing that gear during important times(racing).

 

just look on ebay. I got mine for $15 :P Can't beat that. Very crisp. you almost get the honda-like clickclick
