Short Throw Shifter Height

[vinny89gt]

To all that have installed aftermarket short throw shifters, would you mind posting pictures of the stock shifter alongside the new aftermarket shifter?

I'm researching the normal suspects (MGW/Steeda/Barton) and I'm concerned the shifter height is going to be too low for my liking.

I've seen that MGW has both their Standard and Xspec with a "standard height" but I'm leery that "standard" doesn't mean the same as stock.

Mgw race spec.

@Lonniesgt is that the standard height or the low profile?

Low profile

Steeda Tri-ax Race shifter here. Let me know if you’d like an actual measurement of the height via tape measure and I can provide that as well.

MGW X-spec. This sits slightly higher than stock, but is certainly comfortable.

Standard height handle?

Standard height handle?

Standard for the flat stick I believe. I ordered it in 2021 or so and I *think* there was only one height for the flat stick. Not sure if that has changed.

That looks like it doesn't sit much lower than stock. Would you agree?

Thanks for the responses. I created the thread Saturday in the garage after a few brewskis.

Should have just waited to call the manufacturers and ask.

To anyone searching for an answer to this:

Barton flat stick - 7/8" shorter handle than stock
MGW standard - 1/2" shorter handle than stock
MGW low profile - 1" shorter handle than stock
Triax - 1" shorter handle than stock

For those MGW numbers, is that with the race spec or X-spec?

MGW told me either way, standard handle is only 1/2" shorter.
