Not sure which is better for someone short like myself. Im 5 foot 5 inches
Any recommendations? I want a short length sticking straight up. I bought a skunk2 single bed but haven't installed it yet so i can still exchange for a dual bend if recommended.....

I have no idea what your height has to do with a single or dual bend short shifter, but ok. Get whatever pleases you.

If you want it to be straight, dont get a bent one..?
I'm not very tall, (if that matters) but I really love my B&M dual bend.

a short throw shifter has nothing to do with it's overall length. it makes the throw of the shift shorter, hence "short throw."

I like my stock shifter. I always here about people missing gears (if you race) using a short throw.

I had a straight B&M short shifter...it sucked balls. It shifted nice, but it also caused my hub inside of my transmission to wear excessively. I have since gone back to stock and would never go back to a short shifter. They fuck up tranny internals, especially the cheap shifters. You also have to make sure it doesn't rub on your exhaust, which many do.

Also the straight shifter is pretty hard to reach when you are strapped in to a 5 point and bucket seat, but thats not going to effect you street guys.

Stay stock, thank me later.
