didnt work man, was 6 months ago though hehe

They are now up for $19,99!

Search for "Lancer EVO Eclipse Short Throw Shifter 00-03 04-06" on ebay.com

Any more detail on why it didn't work - seemed like a few were keen on going down this road

In my tax time spending spree, I just purchased one.

I'm fairly sure this is the same thing. I'll let you know. $AU51 delivered.

pretty keen to know too hugh

wow they get cheaper every day!

Looks the same, I got the one I posted before and love it, really makes the shifting defined and solid. Haven't looked back, great buy in my opinion.

 

[ZEUSvsHADES]

i just cut a chunk out of mine and welded it back together
cost me nothing

 

[Macca]

You probably wouldn't have the full effect of a proper short shifter. The aftermarket ones change the pivot point of the shifter giving you more movement under the ball joint. You also get some solid mounts to replace the rubber mounts there by increasing the solidity of the cradle.

 

[ZEUSvsHADES]

yeh but changing the pivot point doesnt interest me cos i dont want to risk having my car only like half in gear if you reduce the pivot point, and lengthening it only makes shifting harder cos you have less leverage so i just left mine alone lol...but still easily do-able....

I've searched ebay for whole minutes looking for one of these, but can't come up with anything. For those people who have bought this kit, does this appear to be the same thing, 2000-2003 Eclipse?

Hey Mick,

Not too sure about the eclipse one but...

that one looks a lot like mine. There seems to be a fair bit under "Evo short shifter"

Hope that helps.

just couple of notes..

our shifter is exactly the same as with the FTO's.. not really sure if its the same with EVO's

FTO's have the 'S' shape on the upper shaft.. with the evo short shift kits you see in ebay doesn't they just have the straight shaft.. therefore it'll look like your shifter leans on the right..

in FTO Australia, they were gonna do a group buy for the C's Short Shifter for their FTO but for some reason it got cancelled..

I have had that short shifter on my car for over a year and never had any problems with. In fact I find it better than the OEM one.

I don't have any problems with the shifter leaning to one side either or it hitting the hand brake.

In the end its up to you.

hhmm.. that's good to know..

which ones did you get though?

 

[Macca]

One of the ones for an Evo. Its from 360 infinity or something like that. It was a seller on Ebay but it seems they aren't there anymore.

 

[TME_Steve]

Hey so while mine feels great is that why it's kinda close to the handbrake in reverse. like knuckles rub the gear lever disengaging the hand brake? It's not really an issue just curious....

 

[TME_Steve]

Oh just looked at the first page.... It's my bloody car! So yeah the straight one is close to the handbrake in reverse.... Not terrible though

 

[Macca]

There is a slight bend in the shifter shaft, you may be able to angle it away from the hand brake.
