Shift kit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Shift kit is an aftermarket component for automobiles. For manual transmission equipped cars, it is a component that replaces the stock gear selecter (shifter). A shift kit usually shortens the throws of selecting a gear (also known as a short throw shifter), therefore allowing a driver to reduce the shift time and change gears more efficiently.
An automatic transmission's main focus is smooth shifting between gears. To accomplish this it often goes into two gears at once while shifting up, which is known as a shift overlap. In these cars, it is a kit that can reduce or eliminate the shift overlap. It will also reduce wear because the transmission won't be trying to drive in two gears at once.
