I was searching shift knobs and came across this

ZZP ATS-V Short Throw Shifter

Our ZZP ATS-V short throw shifter is the first drop-in ready upgraded shifter for the 2016-2019 Cadillac ATS-V. This shifter needs no modification to fit in a V, unlike others on the market. The TR6060 in the V is a fantastic transmission, but the shifter leaves a lot to be desired. With a 40%...

Anyone swap their shifter out?

A facebook group member has. His input was that he likes it. It already has the metal shifter linkage bushing and hopefully that bushing doesn't need to be replaced again.
However it doesn't address the issue of the shifter assembly mounting bracket bushings. That's a separate issue and the creative steel bushing for that location are only a temporary solution. The banging under the shifter on bumps in cold weather will return.

I so want this. I'd like to hear a few more reviews first beyond "he likes it" first. However, as of now (12/29 @ 9PM est) there's only 3 in stock.

SNIP The banging under the shifter on bumps in cold weather will return.

Damn, mine just started doing this a few weeks back. I was like WTF? I thought something snapped. Coincidentally at the same time that 1-2 shifts when cold seem better.
This reminds me of when my EX went through menopause. I had no idea what was gonna happen next!

Do you need to drop the trans for the installation?

Curious on this question as well.

Too be someone from ZZP doesn't hop on here and with some questions and answers to help market their products.

I dont see how it can be done without dropping the tranny since you have to do it to get the stock one out.

 

[LNF]

When you say "dropping the tranny" do you mean just disconnecting the driveshaft, removing the trans mounts and tilting it back enough to gain access above or do you mean actually removing it from the vehicle?

Pop the console trim and remove the boot, shift knob, and shifter seal, pull exhaust, pull driveshaft, remove transmission crossmember, unbolt rear shifter support, and then lower the tailshaft of transmission to tip the engine and transmission down. It's a tight squeeze, but you can get in there to disconnect and remove the shifter from the transmission.

Ahh, this is exactly what I was picturing in my head. A bit of a PITA but not terribly bad. Definitely start on a Saturday; just in case.

Has anyone ran the shifter yet to see how much shorter the throws are? I don't want a short shaft but shorter throws would be nice.
