short shifter
i was thinking about getting an ebay special for like 12 bucks. debating on just buying a fidanza dual bend for 45 or the 12 ebay ---- stick. are they really that crappy or is it just personal prefference.??

Aren't true "short shifters" supposed to use a gear ratio to decrease the actual throw as well as the effort required to shift, due to mechanical advantage? All I've seen lately are shortened shifter levers, last kit I saw with a new gear-equipped shift console was a Nuespeed kit in the late 90's
