shifter bushing "cup"... - Page 2

I have to agree that it is a 'driver error' sort of thing.

I have NEVER had a transmission issue related to a short throw shifter. Much less a bushing.

Now, if it was just a short shifter (ie- cut down), I can see how more force would be needed since leverage is reduced. Think about it...

Short shifter or Short Throw shifter Ted?

You know there is a difference, and need to be specific.

Also, all the points you make (other than the sequential set-up) can be traced back to driver error.

The point of a short throw shifter is not to shift faster, but lessen the distance the shifter needs to physically move to change gears.

as far as I know, that bushing is the same, because I just replaced bushings on my friends S4 and my S5, and the hole looked exactly the same down there.
