Default Short shift kit for a C4?

Anybody make one? Looks like all the kits are for C2's.

Thanks

Sleepers Speed Shop has been working on a SSK that doesn't require modifying the tunnel cover. Haven't seen an update on it yet though.

FD Motorsports has a kit but I think you have to put a dimple in the tunnel cover.

Sleepers speed shop is working on it. Still finializing the product. It will not require any tunnel modifications/dimpling.

You’re welcome. I didn’t know sleepers was in the process of making Their own. Sounds like a better prospect as no modification needed

I’ve had sleepers use my car as one of the demos for the short shifter. Its very precise with little to no slopp. Shifting gears is shorter by 30 percent. The shifter does sit a few mm higher than stock (which isnt a bad thing). If anyone is local and wants to sit in my car and throw the shifter in gears...they are more than welcome.

The factory make a C4 shortshift, its the same as C2 but you don't use the U section (exactly as shown in the FD link above)

Of course this means you have to modify your tunnel cover
