Hi all, I have been modding my vt since I got it last summer. It's a 2015. Favorite car I have ever owned. And being middle aged person I have owned a lot. I would like to venture down the short throw shifter alley. But I really don't know what I'm looking at. Or for. I read some bad things on bbs shifters. Stay away from cosmo shifters. Metal bushings vs poly bushing. I am not that mechanical savy. Would like to be able to order a good shifter that includes everything I need to have it installed. I don't honestly know all what I would need. Also heard that the reverse on aftermarket shifters can not work properly. Is that true? If some of you guys could point me in the right direction on which to purchase. I would like the Matt silver finish. Not into the shiny silver. Would like black but couldn't find any of them. Saw a black one with a vt on it but I would like the gears 1-6 displayed on the knob. Thanks for all your help.

You can get an Rspec/Rally Ed. B&M shifter through a dealership. Costs about $350. It won't reduce the height but it firms up the shifts and has a shorter throw. You also get to say it's OEM.

I got a Tork shifter used that I really like, theirs comes with the base and made install much easier.

Short shifter problem

Hi all. I installed a billet pro short shifter yesterday in my vt. Went well. Just like the instructions say. Love the shifter. But the problem I have is once In awhile when at a complete stop it sometimes is a little I will say sticky to put in first gear. Only first. Ant only every now and then. Would you know what this could be?
