I dont think there is one out, But personaly i think its short enough

Outland

How much shorter do you want it? It currently is a true short throw shifter, its not just a cut down version of the stock unit.

I'm happy as is.

I want it as short as possible, that damn arm rest is too high too.

Lynn

Have you adjusted the arm rest to its lowest position?

Enze6997

How is there an adjustment on that? its attached to the console.

You had your car for a year, and you dont know how to adjust your armrest:p :p

vadim

It actually is just a slightly cut-down version of the standard one.

Well my manual is stuck in my spare tire compartment underneath of my sub box and thus has not been touched since.

vadim

Did your dealer put it there and tell you not to touch it?

Enze6997

Dude screw you guys... i am too damn lazy to look.

I will figure it out tomorrow when I go to my car to drive to work... but regaurdless you are all no help

vadim

Multiply the number of questions asked repeatedly (w/o RTFM or even searching this same forum) by the number of lazy people on this board and you will get the idea why you keep getting sound advices about reading the manual first.

Enze6997: If you ever find a short throw shifter please post it. Im really looking for one.

Enze6997

I asked a simple question... is there a short throw shifter ... NOT how do you adjust the arm rest. That followed up as a solution and I am not about to run out to my car and drudge up my manual to find out I can move the arm rest a quarter inch when that is not what I was concerned with in the first place.


90% of the time the manual reads like crap.

And i was the first one to answer you. I said no there is not one.

You stupid idiot! You addressed 2 concerns:

1. a shorter short shifter
2. arm rest sits too high

The answer to 1. is NO!
The answer to 2. is to read the ****ing manual, and manual is not hard to read. It's in simple and clear English.

IMO, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to adjust the arm rest especially if you've had the car for a year! This is such a joke! You don't even have to read the manual to figure it out. I bet a lab chimp can probably figure it out after a few tries. Want a banana?

Enze6997

Look you pompous ***... why are you saying anything if it doesnt even benifit the subject at hand. I already know per previous responses everything you just wasted time posting.

So F off.
