Short Shifters

• Short shifters: direct replacements for the factory shifter, such as the COBB Tuning Short Shifter for Subaru WRX, STI, Forester and Liberty, the GrimmSpeed Short Throw Shifter for Subaru STI, the APR Short Shifter for Audi A3 6MT and the Dinan Billet Short Shifter Kit for BMW.
• Adjustable shifters: options such as the ACUITY 4-Way Adjustable Performance Shifter for the Honda Civic Type R FL5 and the COBB Tuning Double Adjustable Short Shifter for the Subaru WRX/STI (GC8).
• Tall short shifters: shorter throw with a taller lever, such as the COBB Tuning Tall Short Shifter for the Subaru WRX (GD/GG).
• Shift plates and adapters: the COBB Tuning Shift Plate for the Subaru WRX (VA/VB), available in 15% or 35% throw reduction, and the PERRIN Short Shift Adapter for the Honda Civic (FC/FK) and Civic Type R (FK8).
• Shifter stops and reverse lockouts: the COBB Tuning Shifter Stop for the Subaru WRX (VA/VB), the PERRIN Super Shifter Stop and the COBB Tuning Reverse Lockout for the Subaru STI.
• Drivetrain packages: COBB Tuning Stage 1, Stage 1+, Stage 2 and Stage 2+ Drivetrain Packages for Subaru WRX, STI, Forester and Liberty, plus the Ford Focus ST and Focus RS (LZ). Several packages come with a weighted or tall weighted knob, or a tall shifter.

• 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 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.

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.
