personal preference... dual bent brings the knob a little closer to you, so you don't have to reach as far for it... but i'm a short kid, so I don't know if everyone prefers dual bent, or if there's lankier armed people who want single bent.


I just picked up a skunk2 short shift kit (dual bent)

Same thing..
short shifter's just change the leverage in your shifts... thus.. making them shorter.

I thought that a short shifter had to do with the tranny and the short throw shifter was just the stick you move. :hsdunno:

er neither has to do with the tranny. Short shifter is a short throw shifter. It shortens your throw so it makes you shift 'faster'

ok, short shifter and short throw shifter is the SAME thing! and they only grind if 1. ur tranny is going to shit or 2. if ur releasing ur clutch before its even in gear (its all about getting used to it and knowing when its in). so if u have a 90-93 teg get a single bend. 94+ dual.
