   I want to shorten the gearstick throw on my vts, what's the best thing for this that won't kill my syncro on my gearbox?

   I use a baker bm and its fine, it down to how you use your clutch mainly.

   I only say that because I heard the snatchshift is best but kills gearboxes. I've never used one so I don't know if this is true

   They only kill gearboxes if you smash them into gear a 500mph helixal gearboxes need time to engage. Any normal gearbox even without a quickshift mashing it into hear will destroy it. Used properly a quickshift is fine,
