Hi guys, any short shifter manual gb users here, can give reviews or feedbacks?
Back when I first bought the car(2016) the kits cost 1k+. Now I saw one selling at 2xx range.
Does it improves driving experience? I'm not really into the milliseconds improvement of shifting gear due to shorter throw but mainly more on driving feels and experience.
my personal recommendation is YES it is good, provided you buying proper /reputable short shifter kits.
and it is ultimately what is your real intention/objective/goal.
the overall shifting on the stock shifter is decent, but i wish that the knob interfacing is a little closer to the steering, so i had a short shifter and an extender so the shift gating/throws are almost same if not very slightly reduced, however the height of the knob was greatly extended very close to the steering for spirited driving/track days purposes.
so to me, my experience was great as my objective was met.

The reason is simple - the short shifters out there reduce the height of your stick making the angle really uncomfortable. I have tried it on a friend's inspira, it doesn't feel that great at all and shifting is awkward.
A real short shifter kit will not reduce the height of your stick, but goodluck finding one of those.
I'm still using my original stick and still feels great.
Muhrica Torque solution short shifter kit does reduce the height a little

so please don't generalize.
your experience probably involved a short shifter and a very short and/or small knob that some people prefers. it basically turns the shifter into a button. some people wants that, and obviously you're not one of them.
