Never ever heard that before? How is that even possible? They all do the exact same thing as an ITR shifter, repostion the axis point to reduce the length of the throw.

i think it has to do with people not readjusting their feet while shifting causing damage to synchros due to the feet are not timed correctly to the shifters now but that has nothing to do with selective shifters..

Seriously? That makes no sense. So bascally grinding or riding the clutch due to the shorter throw? That's what happens when clutch timing is off. Grinding gears damages trannys but not riding the clutch. Both situations occur due to bad drivers not short shifters.

If this is not what you meant then please explain more but even if this is not what you meant the same would occur on an ITR or GSR shifter.

and yes it is driver fault not shifters. Personally short shifters are awesome for daily driver..especially skunk2 cause it is oem height but shorten throw for less effort driving! :thumb:

On initial install, i had issues with timing habits as my feet were slower than the shifts, but thats all gone now and the feet have adjusted to be a little earlier on the clutch pedal. :lol:
