Does anyone have a new shifter?? And if so which one did you get and does it help with shifting?? I bought the new bracket from Barton under the car but is it worth going and getting the shifter as well? Ours is quiet short already.

I installed the hurst short throw about 4 months ago. The throw is definitely tighter and shorter. It makes changing gears much faster, but as for easiness, it's definitely a learning curve since the gears are so close together. Once you get used to it tho it's clean quick and fun. I would never go back to the stock shifter after getting used to the short throw

I have the Barton bracket, shifter, and shift knob and couldn't be happier. I also used to miss third in the high rpms and I've driven nothing but manuals. The new shifter is always spot on and never a doubt as to if you are in gear or not. The throws are very short and quick and feels very solid. It does take some getting used to because its a very mechanical "click click" feel versus a smooth shift but its awesome once you get the hang of it. And looks good too. Have gotten a lot of compliments

Yes!!!! Lost my first race ever in the new 12 last night because I missed third ( it was also against a Yamaha 1100.... but I was staying with him! Until I hit my governor, my tuner comes today) I love that click click feel I miss it from my tri-ax in the 03 I had... I will be buying a Barton!
