    why would a short shifter void your warranty. If your power steering pump goes bad a short shifter has nothing to do with it. your clutch is a wear and tear item so is not covered under warranty. the only thing is transmission but they have to prove it was the short shifter.

    I am not sure how it works.
    But I have been told that some dealerships will void warrenties on cars that have been modded in any way!

    Hey Mitsu....this is the one I bought. http://www.lancershop.com/customer/product.php?productid=56&cat=114&page=1

    And on the warranty thing...short shifter can not void a warranty. Look up the Magnusson Moss act. Its a law that basically says that any modification that improves the performance of a vehicle..unless the part is responsible for the damage..can't void a factory warranty or be the reason for the refusal of warranty work.

    So I got the short shifter and installed it.
    I think its a great investment. I reduced the distance by 40%... which makes it that much more fun to drive.
    It was easy to install.
    Forgot to take pictures but I will post some once I get them taken.
    I also replaced my bass bushings and soon to replace my shifter bushings!

    Yea... I didnt like the stock one.
    With the short it takes a little getting the hang of. Like this morning I raced a acura on my way to work ... and i misssed second gear.
    Made me so mad because i would have had them until that happend.
    With missing second they still just barly beat me!

    that is close to the one I have... and that one comes with some bushings.
    nice... I would get it and try it out. If not good enough for you... well it is only 35 bucks.
    but it looks like it should fit fine.
