On a lot of trannys the shifter arms have two holes and locating the rod to the upper hole shortens the throw. Mine only had one hole so I drilled another and now have a shorter throw.

Yes, except it should be the lower hole which is closer to the attachment point. :yesnod:

Check out Mid America for a set out of the C4 section that sell for $19.99. The early C4 use a version ot the super T-10. I have the kit installed in my 79 and it fit and works great.Sorry but I don't have a catalog for the part number...

Ok so you are saying that this will bolt right up to my shifter?



A Speedshifter For $20? You Bet!

Shorten the throw on your 1984-88 Corvette's manual shifter with our easy-to-install kit. Performance Choice Shifter Arms are shorter than stock and effectively shorten the throw on your shifter from almost 8" to just over 4". Install with no modifications in approximately one hour. Includes illustrated instructions. Linkage adjustment may be required.
