This is the Boomba Racing Short Throw Shift Lever. This shift lever has been designed to reduce the shifter travel in your vehicle by as much as 30% in a simple installation with no further modification needed to your surrounding console. The shifter height is also reduced by almost 2 inches while positioning the shifter closer to the driver by half an inch.

DETAILS:

  • Precision CNC machined from billet steel and Delrin
  • 30% shift travel reduction
  • Direct replacement for the OEM shifter
  • 2 inches shorter than stock
  • Retains the reverse lockout functionality

Install Note: Due to the throw reduction the shifter linkage may make contact in the shifter opening in the tunnel. Before installing back the shifter console go through the gears (hard if possible) to see if there are any clearance issues. Any clearance issues will require minor trimming or grinding of the opening in the tunnel.

Boomba Short Throw

This can be a pain to install, just make sure you have the right tools especially to remove the snap ring that holds the washer and spring in place. But definitely makes shifting so much more pleasurable compared to OEM

A solid short shifter option... BUT

This is a quality product. A+ craftsmanship and quality. Relatively easy install (although I had an issue with a couple of studs in the stock shifter assembly spinning when I was trying to loosen a set of nuts, which took a set of nice grip needle nose pliers to solve the problem, but that was an issue with the OE assembly, not the Boomba product). This performs as advertised. The shifts are shorter, and I'm absolutely satisfied and would recommend to anyone looking for a short shifter.

BUT! The main issue I was trying to address was the feel of the shifts, especially the 1-2 shift at lower speed/RPM. I tried a shift stop, which helped with some slop, but didn't improve my issue at all. I tried a shifter bushing, which helped crispen up the shifts a little, but didn't improve my issue at all. A few days before I received the short shifter, I installed the Perrin pitch stop mount, and the shifts immediately became AMAZING. This short shifter pairs wonderfully with the other drivetrain mods I mentioned, but if I could only pick one of them it would be the pitch stop mount, 100%. So keep that in mind if you're considering a short shifter to try to address any issues you have with the way the transmission feels. It will make your shifts shorter, but I can't say it'll address any of the other more deeply rooted transmission/shifter issues.

I've seen some people say that the slight offset of the shifter toward the driver side caused their wrist to rub against the parking brake going into 2nd gear, but living with this for a couple weeks now I'm perplexed at how that could happen. Unless I awkwardly try to force myself to shift by grabbing the shifter in some kind of wonky thumb-down position, there's nothing I can do to get my wrist to touch the brake without turning in the seat and pulling my arm toward the driver door. The driver-side offset does, however, make it much easier to shift into 5th gear from my natural seating position, which was a bit hard before, because I'm 6'3", and with my legs in a comfortable position on the pedals (without my knees being in my mouth), I had to lean forward a bit to shift into 5th.

James,

Thank you for sharing your detailed 5 Star Review of the Boomba Racing Short Throw Shifter Lever! It is great to hear that the product boasts excellent craftsmanship and lived up to the promise of shorter shifts, providing satisfaction overall. Your insightful feedback about the other transmission modifications, particularly the impact of the Perrin pitch stop mount, is valuable for potential buyers. It is helpful to have your perspective on the slight offset of the shifter toward the driver side, highlighting its benefits for reaching certain gears more comfortably. Your comprehensive review offers a balanced view, emphasizing that while the short shifter improves shift lengths, it might not address broader transmission-related issues that may require other modifications. This information will undoubtedly aid others considering similar upgrades for their vehicles. Enjoy your upgraded shifting experience!

It’s a must have!

What can I say that hasn’t been said about short shifters, it really changes how the car feels and drives .
I feel like my shifting is definitely a whole lot smoother, I paired this upgrade with a new act clutch and flywheel so I’m definitely loving it!

I love this short shifter. Paired with the short shift stopper switching between gears is smooth and it doesn't feel like driving a truck anymore.
