Product Details
Looking for the ultimate shifting experience? Look no further! Featuring ECS Tuning's in-house designed and engineered Front-to-Back and Side-to-Side Adjustable Short Shifter Kit!
FRONT-TO-BACK SHIFTER:
Reduce shift throws by 45%, 30%, or 15% percent, or leave them stock using one of the four pre-drilled adjustment holes. Make adjustments under the hood quickly after temporarily removing the air filter housing, and experiment until you find the best combination of throw and shift feel for your driving habits.
Our shift arm is precision CNC machined from billet steel, then plated in a high quality black zinc-chromate finish for excellent corrosion resistance. The kit comes with billet 304 stainless steel shifter pins in 8.5mm and 10mm sizes for factory-like fitment and the counterweight hardware is high quality 18-8 stainless steel.
SIDE-TO-SIDE SHIFTER:
By engineering our Side-to-Side shift relay lever with three pre-threaded holes we were able ensure shift position is always maintained, unlike slotting that can come out of adjustment. These carefully calculated threads allow you to reduce shift throws by 20%, 30% or leave them stock to simply replace your OEM part. Regardless of which setting you choose, shift feel will be enhanced by requiring less effort and lighter feeling, due to the increased working angle of our part.
Our shift arm is precision CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, then coated in a durable black anodized finish for excellent corrosion resistance. The kit comes with billet T304 stainless steel shifter pins.
Each kit includes all necessary replacement components to not only upgrade your shift relay lever but also refreshes your worn components with new, OE lever bushings and lever slide.
