Swift Shift Kit

[ralegen]

Question: Does the swift kit lower the height of the stick? I was almost mistaking the "20% throw reduction" with the height of stick.

Anyone?

Thanks

No, the height of the stick stays the same since the Swift Shift kit attaches to the bottom of the stock shifter. It get's it's mechanical advantage by lengthening the lower part of the shift arm below the fulcrum point. They use a heim joint and replace the stock nylon guides with needle bearings encased in an aluminum housing to provide a much more precise feel.
