Short Throw Shifters

Having a greater degree of control over the vehicle is of paramount importance to any serious enthusiast. After all the trouble and expense spent on upgrading horsepower and other performance aspects, one would wish a greater deal of response and control over all this newfound power. A short throw shifter is a great way to enhance vehicle response and to shorten shift time, allowing for greater acceleration and control.

Short Throw Shifters, a Great Improvement Project

In your quest for greater control, one of the easiest ways to achieve this goal is to remove the stock-rubber isolated shifter from your high performance auto and replace it with a short throw shifter. These shifters have a solid handle attachment, stronger base, and an engineered shorter throw for greater control and quicker shifting.

Many models of short throw shifters are similar in design, but Hurst has recently improved on its Billet Plus model, giving it an even shorter throw for one of the shortest engineered throws on the market. This quality short throw shifter includes a pair of adjustment screws that allows the driver to raise or lower the bias-spring tension inside the shifter. This allows for a shorter side-to-side motion in between gears and the screws can be adjusted to your liking. These features give the Hurst Billet Plus SST a technical advantage over other short throw shifters.

Installing your new short throw shifter is an easy improvement project. Most short throw shifters can be installed through factory floor holes, or can be relocated to suit the tastes of the driver. No matter which model of short throw shifter you choose, it can be an instrumental upgrade which can shave precious tenths of a second off your ¼ mile times.
