I made a custom short-shifter out of my old OEM Chrysler shifter. Lengthening and shortening things and stuff. PATREON - patreon.com/HatersGarage

I entered the cheat code and the welding is already done. Thanks man!

Short throw, replacement bushings and an upgraded transmission mount have always been my go-to mods for any car I buy. I've never been disappointed

Same. It doesn't take much to make it so much better
@toiletgaming20055 ай бұрын
true, my cars got a polyurethane "torque mount", new shift linkage rods, and probably the best thing was a adjustable clutch pedal stop, there was originally like 2-3cm of unnecessary throw when clutch is already disengaged, really helps with leg fatique and gives faster shifts

This is true shitbox modification no money no shiny new parts just ingenuity and effort

Seems to be a theme for me, I feel like I can make stuff just as good making it myself (and have dough left over)

The setup and feel of that shifter is a reflection of the times. At the time that transmission (A523/A568) was released, the Japanese were owning the mass market. Japanese carmakers were really hitting their stride and were seen as more "refined" - that meant only a light touch required to operate with the miminum of NVH transmitted back to the user - and that's what they were targeting with this design as the market was signalling with their wallets that's what they wanted. American cars were seen as rough and clunky in comparison. It was normal for the time and an improvement (if a bit rubbery-feeling) over the previous generation A520/A555. We hadn't yet experienced the "Fast and the Furious" era with all the absurdity that brought, which trickled into OEM designs. Like many things, it is a mistake to apply modern standards to things of the past and often change comes for the sake of change, not because it is better. I see you ran into the spline size change problem where they beefed up the input shaft part way through the run - major drag, wisdom of the ancients which is disappearing. The A555/A520 was best IMO - little more visceral and direct feeling, and the clutche had a better feel. There was something about the A523/A568 clutches that made it difficult to pull off smooth shifts consistently while booting around town.

It is a commuter car from the 80s. personally I can't see the appeal of the longer throw, but I do understand why Chrysler made it the way they did. I still find the shifter a million times better with my modifications for my use, though.

I did this exact thing and it worked pretty well. I made it a little bit too short of a shifter though I kinda had to put my body weight into it to get it in reverse lmao

This is like the NeoN short throw shifter. I have the Booger Bushings, never got around to getting the Short throw shifter because compared to my trucks... it was a short throw shifter 😂

personally ive always hated short throws. love my 90s fwd gms 10 foot no feel throw. for a while ive been considering getting a short throw for my honda and cutting and rewelding it to make it a long throw

Long throw shifter in a Honda is a new one, lol. What exactly do you like about a long throw shifter?
@HumbleHonkingEnthusiast8 ай бұрын
Get a short throw kit and just extend the ever loving shit out of the shifter, best of both worlds

@@HatersGarage maybe im deranged but my favorite shifter ive ever used was in my buddys 90s wrangler. Something about having long and vauge shifts is way more fun to me, makes me feel like im in a 60s movie flooring it then having that breif pause with a huge motion between gears. I havnt messed with my honda other than welding up a taller shift knob out of a 1 7/8 tow ball so that it feels more like a truck
@potatosfortots99098 ай бұрын
@@HumbleHonkingEnthusiast i just love long and vauge shifters, dont really like notchy shit. ive driven tons of cars with factory and aftermarket short shifters and it always makes me wish i was in my shitty 90s gm

Short throw is awesome in a little tiny car with close ratios, but pretty silly in a truck with truck gearing.

Have you tried reinstalling the transmission underneath your shifter as god intended? Cables are icky, unless it controls the throttle. Then it is obviously the only acceptable option...
@HatersGarage8 ай бұрын
I completely agree. You can get cable shifters surprisingly close, though.
My fiero has a long throw shifter. But it really needs it with the wires being so stiff

My brother had a Yota 4y by with 250,000 miles on it and it was shifting like that Mack truck. He added a quart of Slick 50 for trannys and then it was like brand new. Ya, on my RC truck to add one thing, I usually have to change at least 3 others. How can a shiny, nickel plated screw just disappear off of the face of the earth when dropped on dark gray hardwood flooring? Poof! @#$%&!!
