Anybody use the Euro short shift kit from ECS ?

[jorgeecolina]

Can we get back to the performance aspect of it? Is it worth the 50 bucks and time to install?

I don't think so!

ECS shows it "on order", so hopefully when they get one in, someone can buy it and tell us what the deets are.

since no one's going to believe a word of what ECS's forum trolls say.

Mmm ISIS

Haha -- I wan't going to say anything... I thought I'd be the only one.

I still jam out to Mosquito Control every now and then... :thumbup:

Awesome...I like Celestial/Oceanic the best (depends on mood, which one).

Watching their progression was a great treat

got mine yesterday from ecs. very easy install(10-15 mins if you have an intake). i like it, not super short or notchy, but you can tell its shorter than stock. easily worth $50 imo

Just swapped the VF Shifter for Euro OEM Shifter.

I like it lot. Not that really short like the VF is. Euro shifter shifts smoothly and nice. Not really short but it is shorter than the Factory OEM shifter.

I'm curious. Why would you switch out one short shifter for another?

VF is aggressive than the Euro OEM. More reduction throw.

VF has two settings (20% and 36%). Euro has 10% to 15% reduction throw. I am happy with the Euro Shifter since I do lot of daily driving.

I find that interesting. I would think the more you drive (eg: daily driving) you more you would enjoy a short shifter... unless it increases the throw effort.
I presume the OEM Euro doesn't increase effort. By the way, ECS is advertising 15% to 20% reduction I thought so that should be just like the 20% setting on the VF.

The VF definitely increases the effort needed by a bunch. It's one of the main reasons I removed mine.

Yup, thats the same reason why I did it.
