This week on Money Pit, we’re replacing the 26 year old oem shifter with a Short Shifter. Along the way we’ll take a look at how short shifters actually make shifts shorter and we’ll see if it’s a worthy mod.

I’m also going to start including links to all the stuff that we use on the show for anyone that wants to check them out!

  1. Changed a ton on these over the years.. now you install a plate in the engine bay where the shift cables and shifter arm meet up at the trans..

  2. I got a cae ultra in my nb and its so great it was my first mod and my best by far i can totaly recomend it

  3. Thank you for making money pit. I’ve always been scared of working on cars because no one in my life really knows how to. But I always wanted to learn 🙂

  4. Can you tell the difference between a stock shifter and short shifter by looking at it? Can you also add a stock shift knob on a short shifter

  5. I’ve owned several Miata’s and honestly never once thought… it takes a while to get from first to second gear. I want another Miata!

  6. 9:05 I can fully relate to his reaction. The joy you feel when you hear ‘snick-snick’ after a short shifter install and a refresh of misc. shifter components…amazing feeling.

  7. Kudos for your content, style and delivery; not too much or little. Subscribed just based on one episode, and looking forward to more. Thank you.

  8. we used to have a joke and it goes like this “doing (certain mod) would be like putting a short shifter on a Miata”. Guys I’m dead serious.

  9. Did you notice you switched the heat insulation and boot positions? Original was under, the new one installed over the boot.

  10. This may be a bit off topic but I have seen a lot of videos of people greasing up the fulcrum when changing their shifter bushings or turret oil, etc. Would you happen to know if that is necessary at all?

  11. Zach: *makes engine noises*
    Me: What a sick beat 🤔
    @Venjent I summon the drum n bass mad scientist please make a sick beat with Zachs engine sound 😂 (3:55)

  12. A question from a total newbie to modding- does the short shifter mess with your car’s tuning? Like, does it put my synchroniser out of synch?

  13. Damn why does this type of video feel like the soul of Donut. Reminds me of the older Videos on Youtube
