Auto solutions vs Turner Motorsports short shift kit!
I believe AS is the better option if you like one close to ideal setting and be done with it Vs Turner which is a very new but interesting option since it has adjustability which is a definite novelty & unique, I wonder though, how many people would frequently change the setting. Maybe one setting for street use and use the taller shift rod option for track. I am still debating which one to get... |

The shift rod is in the original position as far as I can tell. It does not seem to be any different than stock. The shift rod isn’t close at all to any of the surrounding trim. It fits well and is nice and centered like the stock shifter. I have not driven with the longer shift knob as I didn’t order one but I am considering ordering one just for fun. If I order it I’ll be sure to give an update.

It’s also nice to be able to provide some early feedback to the forum and hopefully give people enough of an idea about its real life performance that they can more easily make the best decision for themselves.

Sure tg AS is the ultimate kit, but the price difference is pretty significant too. Turner can be had for around 250 on a sale and these seem to be dropped pretty often. Basically you pay 150 extra for the connecting rod and the rod joint, which probably remove the ~5mm lateral play that is left after you do the bushings and install a new shifter. And when there's a cheaper alternative that also has something new to offer, why not take a look To be honest I like how the stock shifter works now with delrin and poly carrier bushings and a shorter throw would make it close to perfect.
But that's just like, my opinion, man. The adjustability is great for a reason mentioned above. I have no idea how much % I would like best. Doubt I would change it for track and street though. The ssk is rather far on my list for now, but I am happy to read all the reviews and have a productive discussion

Here’s a quick link to a imgur album showing the knob position in neutral, 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th. I just did it quick on my iPhone so the photos aren’t perfectly aligned or anything but hopefully this gives people an idea of the knob position. For reference my knob height is a touch lower than stock (can go higher if you want) and I would estimate the throw to be around 35% reduction based on the ball position (that literally just me guessing based on the 24-45% reduction spec, haha).

without seeing it next to a stock shifter, does it look like the whole thing is pushed further forward a bit?

I don’t think so. It could be but it really doesn’t feel any different.

Anyone with this shifter have centering issues?
When in Neutral and tilted left towards 1/2, it centers. When tilted right towards 5/6, it stays there and doesn't return to center. We've tried every position of the DSSR (no instructions anywhere ok current orientation) we originally placed it in the same orientation as stock, then tried all 4 directions. Same behavior. Then we tried the stock selector rod, same behavior, also tried varying throw reduction, from min to about 1/2. Same issue. I'm thinking two things, either the transmission detent springs are weak and can't center the tighter ssk, or everything is tight and needs to be broken in? ...or maybe it's just like this but I haven't heard anyone complain about this. I've installed CAE, RTD, Dinan, AS SSKs and never seen this happen. |
