How does the NEUSPEED short shift kit work?
Sir Isaac Newton once said something to the effect of, “For every action there is an equal, but opposite reaction.” When you move your gearshift lever back and forth to shift gears, inside your transmission a series of forks are sliding gears back and forth on a shaft. Depending on the year of your car, the connection between the shift lever inside your car and the transmission will either be rods or cables. Ultimately, the goal of the NEUSPEED short shift kit is to use mechanical leverage to reduce the distance your arm has to move to go from gear to gear, without reducing the amount of work taking place inside your transmission. Why? The forks inside the transmission still need to move the same distance to engage or disengage a gear.
