yep, looks like the same one as on mine.
yer they are mate, they make a huge difference!
They differ cause they are one piece so there are no welds to fail. Also they are shiney
Try one with a short shifter mate, then go back to standard, it feels like you're stirring stew! I used to have difficulty getting into 4th sometimes, now there is no problems, and i can change gear much quicker!
Mine got easier, just cause there was only one place the gear could be!

try doing you own its way cheeper.
dont hack some off the top then bung a knob on top as it becomes hard to select a gear as there is less leverage.
welds will not snap if there half decent and you dont ridiculously slaam it into gear!!! and to ensure strength sleeve over the top of the weld.

short shifters reduce leverage full stop, home made or bought.
Homemade ones will work fine but how many people have access to a decent mig welder to do it with? Plus I prefer not to work on parts that are needed for the car just incase i need to use it part way through.
And you will not have to ridiculously slam it into gear to snap it, as the leverage will be a lot greater after it is shortened.

modded.....:sleepy: i know how it works, i was just saying dont lob some of the top because it becomes stifer and more work to select a gear
who knows what people have laying around??? if they have the welder then exelent easy job, if not am shure you can find someone who does and can weld, its going to be a lot cheeper to get the same result??

Yer but lobbing some of the top is part of what makes a short shifter
And i know it will become more work, that is a biproduct of a shorter throw!
Shortens the throw of the gearchange so that it is much quicker and more precise.
yes it is shorter on the top and longer below the pivot.

on the cheaper ones theres one weld at the bottem...altough chances are it breaking are non.
the micras do benifit from these, 60% quicker gear throws iirc, they feel so much better than standard and you dont feel like your putting the car in reverse when you go for second
if you have ever drove a micra with and without the diffrance makes a big diffrance
heres a pic of mine to show the diffrance..
