What is the difference between the 02-03 shifter and the 04-06 shifter? I have been looking at short shifters for my 05 and the 02-03 ones are a lot less expensive.
Not sure what the difference is. My guess is the price difference is because there are more 02-03 short shifters sitting on the shelf for sale. Lower the price & move the goods.
just stating the obvious that there must be a difference or they would be listed to fit 02-06. Now what that difference is I can't help with that... and as Crashton said might just be to move them out..
From what I have read it has to do with the size of the retaining clip. Helix Short Shift Kit - CravenSpeed Online
I see the ball end of the shifter is a different size. I'll just get the extender then and make it easier.
Correct. The lower ball joint where it attaches to the transmission cables is a totally different size from 02-03 vs 04-06 models. The main pivot is also different. -=Kellen
I have searched for the Greene kit and the only thing I found is Greene Performance. They don't offer shifter kits. Where could I find what you suggested? I'm looking at all of them. I also thought I had seen a short throw L shaped part for the left right movement at one time. Has anyone seen or used one?
https://www.greeneperformance.com/mini.html You are looking at either the shifter kit and/or the slave kit. Honestly, the dust cover will more than likely break while you take it off.
No problem. I'll let you test mine out on Saturday. However, and you know that I have a lengthened shifter, the throw is not as short as I would like it but better than it was stock. I have the Helix SS. I think the one from the link actually has a smidge shorter throw than the Helix.
