Short Shifters

Short Shifters

A short shifter reduces the distance the gear lever travels between gears, giving a shorter, more direct shift than the factory setup. This collection includes short shifters, adjustable shifters, shift plates, shifter stops, reverse lockouts and complete drivetrain packages from ACUITY, COBB Tuning, Dinan, APR, GrimmSpeed and PERRIN. It is part of our wider Drivetrain range.

Choosing the Right Part
  • Chassis code: match the listing to your chassis. Examples include Subaru WRX GD/GG, GE/GH/GR/GV or VA/VB; STI GDB/GRB/GVB/VAB; Liberty BL/BP; Forester SG; Honda Civic FC/FK, FK8 or FL5; and Ford Focus LZ.
  • Gearbox: check whether your car has a 5-speed or 6-speed manual. Some listings are gearbox-specific, such as the APR Short Shifter for the Audi 02Q/0FB 6MT.
  • Shifter design: some parts suit a particular shifter type, such as the narrow barrel GC8 shifter.
  • Height and adjustability: choose a standard or tall lever, and decide whether you want an adjustable design.
  • Required parts: some accessories only work with a specific shifter. For example, the PERRIN Super Shifter Stop requires a PERRIN Short Shifter.
Installation & What You'll Need

Installation by a professional is recommended. Before you order, check each listing for its fitment conditions and kit contents. Replacing worn shifter bushings and components or choosing a new shift knob at the same time can be worth considering.

FAQ

What does a short shifter do?
It reduces how far the gear lever travels between gears, for a shorter and more direct shift.

Do short shifters suit both 5-speed and 6-speed gearboxes?
Parts are made for specific gearboxes, so check that the listing matches your car's 5-speed or 6-speed manual.

What is a COBB Tuning Drivetrain Package?
It combines COBB Tuning shifter parts into one package. Some versions include a weighted or tall weighted knob, or a tall shifter.

Do shifter stops work with any shifter?
Not always. For example, the PERRIN Super Shifter Stop requires a PERRIN Short Shifter, so check the listing's Note line before ordering.
