Thanks CG and TP.
CG: You're right about the clutch taking time. So that leads me to another question.
BEfore a short shifter install is the bottleneck the clutch time or the shifter?
Example: Does it say... take .5 seconds to activate the clutch and "power" shift it into gear before the clutch is completely out. Yet, it only take .25 seconds to actually shift the stick. If this is so the short shifter is a waste of money.
This seem about right. Feet are slower than hands and individual reaction times are what matter.
-OR-
With a short shift install does it take the same .5 seconds to clutch but I was wrong on the shifting time.
Example: Regardless, it really takes about .5 seconds to clutch. The shifting time is really .75 seconds and with the new shifter can be lowered to .45 seconds and now one can perfectly shift within the clutching "window".
Does this make sense?
Toolpants: I read the articles and the second one was interesting. It stated the throw was basically identical from 1st to 2nd and the change was -58% from 3rd to 4th? What about 2nd to 3rd? Identical? Is B&M saving you 58% on one shift and maybe 5% on the others?
So, in 3 shifts it saves 68% total divided by 3 for a total savings of 23% overall. THis is making my brain hurt..I'm gonna go for a spin. Thanks again
