TR,
Where can I get more info on Short throw shifters and how they work, and benefit the Mustang s197. Thanks for the info in advance TR Members.

The name pretty much says it all. Shoter distance to go from gear to gear. They work the same as all other year...as a lever

Are they worth it, makes it easier to shift?
Im not that good when it comes to driving a stick, well I drive normal, nothing aggressive or crazy, but will a SS help?

If you dont "beat on it" , other than feel and looks no. Will give it a
"sports car" feel instead of the sloppy-rubbery feel while shifting

I will never own a stick shift with out a short throw on it. Really tightens up the feel of the shifter and makes it feel really precise. I dont know how people drive with a stock shifter, feels like it wants to flop around to me.

I dont know the difference, never tried driving with a SS on so it seems normal to me the way it is now...lol.

Largo 5.0

See, I'm the exact opposite. I learned on a SS and never really driven a vehicle without one. I've been in other people's cars who didnt have them, and it felt so sloppy, I couldn't imagine driving it like that...

I see, guess I know what my next mod is.

Go with an MGW! Best $200 I could've spent. Really cleaned up shifts, feels incredibly solid, and looks so great I almost didn't want to put a shifter boot over it!

Check out the feel of someone car that has one installed. Kinda pointless to but it if you dont like the feel. Forgot to mention that most aftermarket SS have positive stops that keeps you from cramming against the syncro's if you do decide to shift it hard.
