• Slower shifting during spirited driving

A short throw shifter improves these characteristics while maintaining OEM drivability.

30-40 Percent Shorter Throws

The most noticeable benefit is reduced shift travel.

Benefits include:

• More direct operation
• Improved driver confidence

The shorter throw creates a sportier feel without making the transmission difficult to operate.

【Unique Design】 The unique design of this Quick Shift Short Throw Shifter ends up in shorter shifting distances, resulting in quicker and more precise gear changes. This not only enhances your driving experience but also contributes to enhanced safety all the way through your ride.

Improved Shift Precision

The revised shifter geometry helps create:
