just ordered a URD short throw

I've been debating on weather to get one or not. Well they gave us a spot bonus today for working on Christmas day, 5minutes after that I ordered the kit. Merry Christmas to me. I can't wait till it gets here.

 

First mod i did on my X-Runner.

 

You'll love it! It's a big improvement over the stock shifter.

 

I just got mine today, cant wait to install it!

 

any of you have a picture of stock and then the short throw? is there a height difference or same height just less movement?

 

Urd says on the website about 44% less throw, so less movement.

 

Pretty good comparison here:

You can see the height difference when the shifter is in 1st

 

I like the URD kit. It got rid of the dreaded RPM hang and I would have gladly cut off my left testicle to get rid of that hang, let alone install a short shifter kit.

However, I do not like the WAY more increased shift effort.

 

It makes a big difference. I love mine.

 

Nice

 

mine loosened up a bit after a few cycles, reverse is still tighter than stock but the slap method works everytime.

 

I agree, reverse is not great, the missus is struggling with it.

 

For the record, mine has never taken an increase in effort to shift or get in reverse.

 

You must just be super buffed.

 

I must be, how observant of you.

I suppose you would be to if yours was more like mine.

After you just whined about "WAY more increased shift effort" I thought I would let everyone know that's not always the case with this SS.

 

You can't take a joke can you? EVERYONE who installs the URD say it increases effort (simple search). Then you come along and say it doesn't. Whatever Einstein. Good for you.

 

I put it in today. It wasn't to hard, getting the little bushing off was a pain. It feels good alot less travel then the stock setup. It goes right into reverse with only a little more effort not much than it took before.
