If you're looking to take your shifting game to the next level, the APR Short Shifter System is where it's at. This isn't just another aftermarket part; it's a solid upgrade that transforms the factory gear shifter into something far more engaging. With this system, you're not just cutting down on shifter movement—you're enhancing the overall feel and quality of every shift. You know that satisfying click when you slam into gear? This makes it happen more often.
The beauty of this setup lies in its adjustability. You can tweak the front-to-back movement and fine-tune the side-to-side action. There’s a slotted adjustment track on the shifter lever that lets you dial in the forward and backward travel distance to your liking. Want a snappier feel? You got it. Plus, the adjustable counterweights let you customize the shift feel even further. It’s like having a personal shifter just for you.
One of the standout features is the stainless steel spline insert. Unlike the factory setups that wear out over time, this bad boy is built to last. It prevents that dreaded sloppiness that can ruin your driving experience and keeps everything tight, so you don’t have to worry about component failure down the line. You can actually feel the difference when you shift—it's more precise and rewarding.
Now, let’s talk about the components. The CNC-machined billet relay lever is a beast compared to the flimsy factory pieces. It’s thick, durable, and ready to handle whatever you throw at it. The same goes for the shift lever itself, which replaces that wear-prone factory part. It houses the counterbalance weights and gives you the solid feel you crave.
Installation? Easy as pie. The system is designed to mimic the factory shape, so you won’t be scratching your head trying to figure it out. And when it comes to adjustments, you can do it all without disassembling anything—just loosen or tighten a few pegs or add weights as needed. It's straightforward and user-friendly.
Plus, APR has covered all the bases with the necessary hardware included—friction material, clips, locking nuts, stainless steel bolts, and pegs. You’re getting a complete upgrade that pairs perfectly with the APR Shifter Cable Bracket.
This kit fits a wide range of models, including:
Overall, if you want a shifter that feels like an extension of your own hand and makes every drive more enjoyable, the APR Short Shifter System is a no-brainer. It's built to last and designed for those who appreciate the finer points of driving.
