Double Adjustable Design:
The COBB shifter features independent height and fore/aft adjustment, allowing you to dial in the perfect shifter position for your driving position and preferences. This adjustability is especially valuable if you've installed racing seats, changed your seating position, or simply want to optimize ergonomics for your specific needs.
25% Throw Reduction:
The COBB shifter reduces shift throw by 25% compared to the factory shifter. This means faster shifts with less hand movement, which is critical for performance driving, autocross, and track days. The shorter throw also improves shift accuracy by reducing the distance your hand travels between gears.
CNC-Machined Billet Aluminum:
COBB uses precision CNC-machined billet aluminum for exceptional strength, durability, and precise tolerances. The anodized finish resists corrosion and wear, ensuring the shifter maintains its appearance and performance even after years of use. The solid aluminum construction eliminates flex and provides a direct, mechanical shift feel.
Weighted Shift Knob:
The included weighted shift knob improves shift feel and momentum, making shifts feel more positive and deliberate. The additional weight helps the shifter fall into gear more naturally and reduces effort required for smooth shifts. The knob is designed to complement the shorter throw for optimal shift feel.
Height Adjustment:
The height adjustment allows you to raise or lower the shift knob position to match your seating position and preferences. This is especially useful if you've installed racing seats that position you differently than factory seats, or if you simply prefer a higher or lower shift knob position.
Fore/Aft Adjustment:
The fore/aft adjustment allows you to move the shift knob forward or backward to optimize reach and ergonomics. This adjustment ensures the shifter is positioned perfectly for your arm length and driving position, reducing fatigue during extended driving sessions.
Why Upgrade Your Shifter?
- Faster Shifts: 25% shorter throw means quicker gear changes
- Better Feel: Precise, mechanical feel with reduced slop
- Improved Ergonomics: Adjustable position for perfect reach and comfort
- Track Performance: Essential for autocross and track days
