    Default Short shifter AND shifter plate ?

    I was quickly wondering if it was possible to use the TWM short shifter with the jbr shifter plate, to furthermore reduce the throw. I'd like the shortest possible ..

    I have the Cobb STS (approx 30% reduction) and the Sure ShortCut (approx 30% reduction). Nice and close.

    I recently ordered a JBR Short Shift Plate before I realized that I wanted a short shifter. As such I'm not installing it I"m waiting to get the TWM short shifter.
    In conclusion I'll be selling my JBR Short Shift Plate. PM me if you want details.
    Cheers

    I have heard of people using both... I would love to see how short the throws would be with the shifter + plate. I have the JBR plate in right now and it's at the max setting for reduction which makes for an awesome short shift.

    what are the benifits of having a short shifter? is it just personel preference or is there performance theories involved?

    preference. and it makes the throw of the shift shorter to allow getting into the next gear faster = performance

    in the video for the 3 it almost looks like the shifter is facing the driver at some odd degree. but i think this summer ill pick up the JBR plate and pass motor mount should be fun.
