I decided to try something different. Installed a long-throw shifter. Bought a white delryn shift knob (amazon) and a 4 inch rod extender (TWM performance). Removed the stock shift knob (without damaging) and installed the knob and extender. My reasoning is this: when I track the car I have to move/drop my right hand less and the shifts are more decisive. I have trouble sometimes with a missed shift using a short throw in my Z. The feel was rather vague when trying to shift up/down in a competition scenario. I like the change for now. The long throws are smooth and give the 6MT a different kind of feel. The white knob is easily noticeable in your peripheral vision when you reach for it.
Image Link: ![]() I'm sure this is not for everyone. In researching these types of shifters, I looked at the WRC drivers and their sequential or otherwise shift knobs. They are pretty close to the same level as the steering wheel. A quick to grab and shift, quite logical for a race car. Economies of motion, etc. I'm happy with my choice. I did not see any posts out there with a write-up like this so I thought I would contribute one.
