I recently bought a 95 MTX and Im looking to make the throws shorter, I know that there are a few choices out there, Im just looking for feed back on ones in use, how much it costs, and where can I get one?

Thanks!

The only one I know of for the SHO is made by a forum member named Jose Fernandez. They sell for $350.00. He was selling one on ebay the other day, but I'm not sure if it's still on there. There's not an aftermarket for short throw shifters when it comes to SHO's. I hear Jose's is a great piece of machinery.

Not any more. I grabbed that sucker.

EDIT: There's another one on eBay now.

does the shifter boot cover any of that exposed metal? And is Jose making anymore in the near future?

not to bag on them or anything but they are not the best looking thing in the world. Whats up with the angles? it could have at least been straight. I still prefer my phone pole over that, if anything I would get the stock shifter shortened. my 2 cents

The angles allow for adjusting how short of a throw you want. If you look you can see it is adjustable. What difference does it make if it's not the prettiest thing in the world, as stated before, it's covered up.

dude, i'm not going to argue, I just said what I thought and i'm not going to make a big deal out of this. pm me if you really get offended by what I said.
btw, it still looks tilted even with the boot on...
