Here’s one of our first products taken directly from the WORKS Speed World Challenge Lancer. Normally, we enjoy the factory placement of the shifter mechanism. However, we’ve noticed the shift knob tends to offset to the right in the new Lancer. Our goal was to bring the knob closer to the both the driver and the steering wheel for a more driver-friendly position. While altering the position, we also wanted to reduce the amount of travel without a significant increase in input effort. In the end, we achieved just that. WORKS Throw Technical Highlights -Shifter Movement Reduced by 25% -Shift Knob Relocated to a More “Natural” Driver-Friendly Position -Minimal Increase in Shifting Effort -Reduced Shifter Height -Double-Thread Design for Both OEM and WORKS Grab Shift Knobs -Retains OEM Quality and Fitment -Includes Appropriate Hardware The biggest obstacle in replacing the shifter mechanism is Mitsubishi’s single-use hardware. They come off easily with a small cut-off wheel (using a Dremel or similar tool) as long as you take care not to damage the surrounding plastic or the guide pins. WORKS will provide new hardware to replace these pieces. We also have an a machined logo shift knob that is the perfect compliment to the short throw shifter. We have a handful of short throw shifters in stock and ready to ship. These are limited until the full batch is ready next year, so don't miss out. http://www.worksevo.com/store/product_info...products_id=478http://www.worksevo.com/store/product_info...products_id=477-Bill@WORKS

QUOTE(JoeKustra @ Apr 8 2008, 06:39 PM) :offtopic: I just installed your air filter in my '08 Lancer ES. Seems to give me a better boost and around 2MPG increase. It will never pay for itself with those numbers, but I still like it. Thanks. please post personal experience in appropriate subforum or in PM.. :liebe011:

QUOTE(sordid @ Jul 9 2008, 12:09 AM) I would like to know if they changed anything important with the 2009s, or if a 2008 short throw would still fit.

He should read your thread :) Rox: Check out 4B11 Lancers Forum, someone had reviewed and posted pics of short shift. Pics I believe have stock vs short shift, and pic of driver with short shift. Edit/Update: Ok so its not a WORKS Short Shift, however it would definitely be a comparable if not same item. The thread link is: http://4b11lancers.com/index.php?topic=772.0He reviewed the TWM Short Shift. If WORKS Would like to look at the competitor's short shift, compare and comment, please, please do so we like input.
