Default Customer Collaboration ? Adjustable Short Shifter & Shifter Bushings

If I were to make a list of OEM parts that I dislike, in the number one spot would be the shifter. I hate feeling like I am stirring a large pot of soup when I am putting my car into gear. Any auto enthusiast wants a solid shift when they are driving. When I […]

It is based on sales for MS6 parts overall it doesn't make financial sense to spend the engineering time on some parts. For the fancy CNC parts you need to hit certain quantities to cover setup costs for example. If you can get me 30 people who are willing to drop money on a shifter for example we could work with that.

Gotcha. There aren't any shifters for the 6 right? So if we get 30 peeps interested you'd be the only ones making them?

I've seen well over 30 MS6 owners bitch about shifters.. rightfully so, but they're definitely out there.

BTW, when is someone going to make a full replacement?! that's not TWM. I have there's, and it's sex, but well I would prefer to support a different brand.

How freaking hard would be to re-do the short shift plate CorkSport used to offer for the ms6? Need a second hole in the vertical plate (which means you need to drill your stock plate as well, no big deal) and a gusset to keep the plates from warping. I loved the feel of the shifter, now that I am back to stock, the shifter feels like it is mounted in a bowl of spaghetti.

In any case, we could start an interest thread for the short shifter.
