Anyone having any gear grind with the short shifter kit (B&M, Hurst or other) after quick shifting? (Qtr mile runs, street challenges, etc...)

If someone was to leave any shifter on their car thats creating a grinding noise than they are very stupid, Im sure you wont find anyone like that here

as long as you arnt slamming gears every time it shouldn't put much extra stress ive seen many cars with short throws never have a problem just keep the quick shifting to the track

sounds just like another reason to void warrenties.

I get what the guy is saying, but if you treat your car right, you won't have a problem

that article alone could be the basis for denying a warranty repair on a tranny if a short throw shifter is installed.

Sounds like they should only be installed after warranty has expired....
