shortening the throws from gear to gear is always a plus.

i'd go for it if i were you dude.

It makes a big difference. I think it's worth every penny.

I think there was a thread posted exactly about this a little while back

Yes, there was a recent thread. The short shifter is a big improvement over the stock shifter. The stock unit's throws are really long. This makes your car feel much sportier.

Is a short shifter bad for the transmission because it only places it half in gear when you shift?

haha... having a short shifter def does not do that. at the base, there is an adaptor of some sort along with the rod, that lands in the same position as OEM, however the lever (shift knob) is in a less traveled position at the end of the throw.

the idea of cutting or shortening the shift rod is not having a short shifter as well.

BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK MOD BARNONE

I disagree on the SSBL unless you have supporting mods (upgraded brake pads) but I definately agree about the RSB.

I can't say about the short shifter on the solara because I have an auto, but I the Short Shifter is a great mod.
