What Does a Short Shifter Arm Do?

Unlike a complete shifter assembly replacement, a short shifter arm modifies the transmission linkage geometry.

Benefits include:

• Reduced shift throw
• Faster gear changes
• Improved responsiveness
• Enhanced driver engagement

This creates a sportier driving experience while maintaining factory-style operation.

Adjustable Shift Reduction

One of the biggest advantages of the Bevinsee design is adjustability.

Benefits include:

• Custom shift feel
• Driver-specific tuning
• Street or performance-oriented setup
• More flexibility than fixed short shifters

This allows drivers to choose the balance between comfort and performance.

CNC-Machined Precision

The Bevinsee shifter arm is CNC-machined for accuracy.

Advantages include:

• Precise tolerances
• Consistent operation
• Better fitment
• Improved reliability

Precision machining is essential for maintaining smooth shifter operation.

Aluminum and Stainless Steel Construction

The combination of aluminum and stainless steel provides:

• Lightweight performance
• Excellent durability
• Corrosion resistance
• Long service life

These materials are commonly used in premium performance drivetrain components.

Corrosion-Resistant Anodized Finish

The anodized surface treatment offers:

• Protection against corrosion
• Resistance to fading
• Improved appearance
• Long-term durability

This is especially beneficial in harsh weather environments.

Improved Shift Feel

Drivers often notice:

• Shorter gear throws
• Better gear engagement
• More positive shifts
• Increased confidence

The transmission feels tighter and more performance-focused.

Perfect for Modified Turbo Cars

This upgrade pairs well with:

• ECU tunes
• Intake systems
• Downpipes
• Intercoolers
• Clutch upgrades

As power increases, precise shifting becomes even more important.

Installation Considerations

Before installation:

• Verify transmission compatibility
• Inspect shifter bushings
• Check transmission mounts
• Review installation instructions

Most installations can be completed using common hand tools.

Pros and Cons
