10% Shorter Throw:

The GK Tech short shifter reduces throw by approximately 10% compared to the factory shifter. This means less hand movement between gears, resulting in faster shift times and a more direct, race-inspired feel. The shorter throw is noticeable immediately and makes aggressive driving more engaging and precise.

Weighted Top for Improved Feel:

The shifter features an added weight at the top that provides improved shift feel and feedback. The additional mass helps the shifter fall into gear more positively and gives you better tactile feedback during shifts. This weighted design is popular in motorsport applications where precise, confident shifting is critical.

10mm Shorter Overall Height:

In addition to the shorter throw, the shifter itself is 10mm shorter than the factory unit. This brings the shift knob closer to the driver, improving ergonomics and hand positioning. The shorter height is especially beneficial for drivers who find the factory shifter too tall or awkward to reach comfortably.

Tighter, More Precise Shifting:

The GK Tech short shifter eliminates much of the slop and vagueness found in the factory shifter. The result is a tighter, more precise shifting action that makes everything feel more connected and mechanical. You'll know exactly where each gear is, making missed shifts a thing of the past.

Direct Replacement - No Modifications:

The short shifter is a direct replacement for the factory unit, using the factory mounting points and requiring no cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications. Simply remove the factory shifter and install the GK Tech unit in its place. This makes installation straightforward and reversible if needed.

Optional Replacement Shifter Boot:

Due to demand, GK Tech offers an optional replacement shifter boot for R33 GTS-T owners whose original boot is torn, brittle, or deteriorated. This is available as an optional extra at the time of ordering, allowing you to refresh your entire shifter assembly in one go.
