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.

Have you adjusted the arm rest to its lowest position?

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

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

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.

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.

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?
