Watch out...I posted this last week...it turned into a Acuity post...

Anyway, I should have my buddy club short shifter tomorrow. No way am I paying $500 for acuity short shifter lol

Oh and I got it for a tad cheaper from evasive...180 shipped, just for those that are interested. But they may not offer free shipping for long, if they don't I think your price is better.

Is there a difference in the one for the type r? Are these the same part no matter which model you choose?

Yes, the Type R one is slightly different than the non Type R.

For all the options Acuity offers its worth it. But its good to have options that suits your taste. See for $180 you got yourself a pretty good short shifter with 30% less throw .

Oh fysa for those that buy buddy club...the shift knob will sit a tad lower also...little more than 3/4 inch.

Shift feel is like stock but feels more solid in the gears...meaning it doesnt feel like it moves around much at all in gear.

As for the shortness of throws... it's only 30% so dont expect a major life changing event. Its shorter but only a little.

I wonder if the stock shift boot is retained when running the acuity one.

I dont see why it wouldn't. The shifter isnt connected to the boot

I wonder how this compares to my current setup. All Acuity shifter parts and the boomba lever arm.
Sounds like you might see similar results. Not trying to go off topic, I personally have the acuity shifter coming in.

The buddy club seems nice, does what it says it does. What material is the pivoting joint for the lever?
