Re: IS IT REALLY STIFF??....

Shorter shift throw = more force to engage/disengage a gear. Welcome to the world of Physics and Mechanics...

Audi & a Mitsu! 2 very different cars, with very different gearbox setups! ;O)

Normally when you shorten the throws on the Audi shifter mechanism, it does require a slight more force to shift. Over time, you dont even notice it. ;O) The short shifter reduces throws by about 30%. About a 30% increase in force to shift can be expected. ;O)
