Ford Short Shifters

One of the most frustrating things a driver can deal with on the road when driving a Ford manual transmission vehicle is a complicated shifting system. When the Ford shifter requires complicated moves that take a long time to complete, it can be a hassle just trying to downshift or move up to the next gear. For those to whom speed matters more than anything, they should toss away any overly complex stock shifter and replace it with a Ford short shifter.

Eliminating harsh angles that the Ford shifter is forced to go through during the course of shifting between gears can allow a driver to make smoother, more rapid gear shifts. Racers and serious performance drivers tend to prefer the quickness and reliability provided by Ford short shifters, as even split seconds spent on nonessential maneuvers can make the difference between a winning race and a losing one. Effective Ford short shifters still activate each gear in its entirety when shifting, but transition between gears more rapidly than expected from stock Ford shifts, making this a popular, and useful, upgrade.
