This week on Money Pit, we’re replacing the 26 year old oem shifter with a Short Shifter. Along the way we’ll take a look at how short shifters actually make shifts shorter and we’ll see if it’s a worthy mod.
I’m also going to start including links to all the stuff that we use on the show for anyone that wants to check them out!

I feel like Zach was a teacher before he joined, he does an incredible job of explaining everything in detail but keeping it so simple for us to understand. A real one!!!!

Money pit is my favorite Donut Show. I also like Hi Low. Donut has made 2020 a bit better.

How to install a short shifter in a car with an automatic transmission

Zach is the CEO of "might as well replace it while we're here."
-
Should have said “let’s get shiftfaced” lol
-
Eddie honestly just wants the whole Miata
-
Looks like ur seats r kinda worn off Id suggest an episode: are aftermarket seats worth it Like if u want zach to get new seats in the miata
-
Meanwhile my biggest bottleneck is just waiting for the revs to drop from first to second. It takes like 2-3 seconds.
-
Should’ve gone with: “Let’s get shift done”.
-
I just wanna express my appreciation for the little timer bar when y’all shoutout the sponsor. It’s something small but I wish more people did it 😭
-
Short-throw shifters are in that "feel-good" mod category, like steel-braided brake hoses.
-
100% agree about the feel. Had a Z that had been swapped to a short shift by the previous owner. People that rode with me couldn't even tell I was changing gears because of how much faster it was, which meant less time for the rpms to drop and less effort matching. Solidly one of the best things that can be changed on a manual transmission.

I like this guy the most, he sounds like he actually knows what he’s talking about
-
"Look at this nasty heat isolation-" "I-I'll take that too" Relatable haha! "someone's trash is someone else treasure!" Love this show!!
-
5:56 Zach- "Now we're down to our shifter set up here, and we just pick it straight up out. Comes out nice and easy." Me- laughs in Volkwagen

Man, this episode sure is good. It's just Zack explaining some simple stuff and doing a quick change of parts but it's so engaging and just fun to watch. You forget it's an actual informative video from all the fun both him and Eddie seem to be having. And the editing captures amazingly all the sweet parts. Donut is really special, thank you all for making car culture a bit better

me: buys 3500$ worth of parts me: does it come with stickers? company: um yes? me: 😯

I have seen several of my buddies use cheap short shifters. They always break or do more damage than good. I am glad to see Zach buying quality parts for the Miata. It helps that Donut Media is probably fronting some of the coats as well. 😉
