stock shifter does just fine. Besides with a short shifter most drivers get
too agressive and end up destroying the synchros.

If I can out shift the tranny with a stock shifter, why goto a short
shifter?

I do have a Edelbrock shifter on my other car, only because the oring
bushings rotted away.

Eh? How does one destroy synchros by aggressive shifting?

 

you end up shifting faster than the tranny can handle.

With a short shifter, you hand must move at about 2/3's speed as compared to
a stock shifter. Most people end up shifting at their normal speed, forcing
the synchros, which wears them out very quickly.

More likely the damage is done with poor clutch/shift coordination.

I have to agree with those who like them. I put one in my wagon and
enjoy the shorter throw.
