short shifter!!!
i have a astra, 5 speed manual. i want to put a short throw shifter in it. ive been doing research and idk what would work for the car, are most short throws universal or are they trans specific. are their differences from rwd and fwd? i js would like to know potential options. ive been looking for a week now and i found a kit but its not for the car. i figured might aswell try and if it dont work ill return it.

I don't know as I've never had the desire for one. But I suspect that they change the position of the pivot point relative to the shifter lever itself and the output link. If, for instance, a stock shifter lever moves six inches to move the output link one inch, by changing the pivot point (fulcrum) they change the relationship so that the shifter lever moves a shorter distance for the same one inch movement of the output link. Obviously, that requires a re-design of the whole shifter mechanism in the console.
