Default Call me crazy but....

I installed my numeric shifter on the longest throw setting. The other two were just too...... short.

this thing is solid though.

Personal preference. Combined with upgraded cables, the shortest setting feels precise with minimal effort to me, but the effort may be biased based on other manuals that I have.

Forgive my ignorance, this is numeric like a brand/manufacture or numeric like you can shift it similar to sport mode in a pdk? Just up and down and it does the rest ?

Is that called sequential?

Looks great! I love mine. Middle setting was perfect for me. So nice these things are so easily adjusted based on personal preference.

Enjoy!

negative ghost rider. It still a traditional pattern.

it is nice you can move it up and down by just pulling the boot up and removing the pin.

2009 C2S 170K miles

Hey Rob,

Middle for me.
I never got that short shifter thing... too much resistance from not enough leverage... I just didn't get it.

Peace

No, just never got around to it. I think I am happy with the system as it is... would like more tactical feel... but... other fish to fry.

Shifting shouldn't be rushed. Its a delicate thing where a perfect balance could be disturbed. Unless you sprint 0-60 I don't see a big thing for short shifter. You typically don't gain time on a track either by banging through gears. besides, its easier to put a 2d instead of 4th. Enjoy.

Agree 100%- hence the top setting

I do like to chip second here and there on a back road but I was able to do that with the stock shifter haha

I agree with the comments that ‘shortening’ the shift is not a tremendous benefit.
However, the stock setup (at least in my car) has 5th gear located somewhere near my passenger’s right knee!

Getting the Numeric to reel this in and eliminate the ‘slop’.

Definitely don’t want it as short as say a 991 GT3.

So how does your Peterbilt drive now? j/k I believe stock is the middle hole so how does it feel with the highest position?

the highest hole is still about 30% shorter than stock. At least.
