For short-shift kits, there's RacingLine and TWM (although their's is for the SER & SpecV, but looks identical to ours). If you're looking to actually shorten the stick, you're pretty much S.O.L. since I've never found a manufacturer that has produced something like that for a reverse-lockout style shifter.

As for Tein...who knows?

Most likely because it doesn't shorten the shifter itself.

x2 both made a huge difference. i wonder how much of a difference they made. If you were to track a stock coupe vs a coupe with the 2 mods...

The TWM does not fit the Altima. I know I have one The mounting bracket for the TWM does not fit either the shift action and their bracket for the cable does not clear the coolant lines

^^ Ah, I stand corrected then! RacingLine is the supreme ruler of all short-shifting action thus far!

I know a way to shorten the height, there is a knob that does exactly that.http://www.carmate-usa.com/htm...o.htm

Shift rod sits merely 2mm below your hand and shorten the overall length of the rod.

it won't work with the reverse lockout I think so you'll have to remove it.
