SKIP-SHIFT/ BARTON SHORT THROW

Hey guys just placed and order for a short throw...Now my question is does it act any diff when 1-4 come up.... I know on my stock shifter it will slid down and over will little effort...So is this about the same for the barton or is there more effort put in to it?

it wont change the way the skip shift acts...it's a computer controlled lock-out in the transmission, has nothing to do with the shifter. although now you'll have a shorter throw to get into 4th.

Installed the Barton and Skip shift at the same time, and it's nice. Have not had the 1-4 skip came up once since.
