MPx Short Throw Shifter w/ Angle Correction, 2013-16 Dart

All of you who own a manual Dodge Dart know the shifter has the following problems:

  • The knob is positioned too far forward, and you have to reach to get to all forward gears.
  • The throw feels too long between gears.

We've fixed these problems with the new MPx Short Throw Shifter!

  • 1) We've positioned the knob closer to the driver for better ergonomics and feel.
  • 2) We've reduced the throw between gears by 25%.
  • 3) We've reduced the height of the shifter to make it not feel so tall
  • 4)This retains the stock shift knob, and reverse lockout feature.

Notice: We now offer the MPx shifter base bushings as an accessory, you dont have to buy these, but if you are installing this short shifter its the perfect time to install the base bushings.

Here pics of the stock shifter versus the MPx short shifter with angle correction.

With this shifter you will receive detailed photo installation instructions as well.

NOTE: If you are purchasing a new lockout cable with this, please be sure to have our MPx shift knob or an updated Mopar shift knob that we sell as well.

      This will actually help you shift faster and reduce the amount of reduction on the shifter. As far as the other parts you are interested in, you can email us and we can keep you updated with any new parts we may come out with for the Dodge Dart.

    I was wondering how easy is this to install on this car and will i need a lift in order to do this modification?

      We provide photo installation instructions on how to install this piece. Its not difficult to do, just takes time and patience! You do NOT need a lift to install this, everything is done inside the car.

    HOW EASY IS THIS TO INSTALL
    1 Answer
    • Modern Performance

      It does not require any special tools to install. We provide instructions with photos, and the way we recommend installing it takes about 1.5- 2 hours to install. However, some customers have been able to remove and replace the shifter with a lot less work, and replaced it in about 20 minutes. So, it depends on your skill level!

    Does this come with the reverse cable or will it need to be purchased separately
    1 Answer
    • Customer Service Rep

      What you see in the photo is exactly what you get. The shifter stalk, and installation grease is whats being sold here. There is no reverse cable, you should reuse yours. If you need a replacement reverse cable you'd need to source that yourself separately.

    DOES THIS COME WITH A NEW BOOT AND KNOB OR DO RESUSE THE ONE ON YOUR CAR
    1 Answer
    • Modern Performance

      You can reuse your factory knob, or purchase the MPx shift knob as a direct replacement. In most cases the factory knob is destroyed when being removed, so we highly recommend you get the MPx knob which can be removed and installed without it being destroyed.

    How big is the difference between the stock and short throw shifters? It doesn't really look that much lower and I'm wondering if it would make more sense to simply cut and weld my stock shifter to make it shorter.
    1 Answer
    • customer service rep

      The MPx shifter reduces the height and reduces the throw compared to stock. You most definitely would not want to cut your shifter as that would increase the effort needed to change gears and would do nothing to reduce the throw.

    Is there special/different instructions for a Mopar 13? The shifter ball is different.
    1 Answer
    • customer service rep

      Even though the shifter ball is different on the Mopar 13 Dart, the shifter will be the same, so you can transfer over the shift knob onto this short shifter.

    Is there any way one could be made without the angle correction toward the driver? I really like this shifter (and all the parts you make, I've been really impressed), I just don't like it being off center towards the driver.
    1 Answer
    • customer service rep

      We make these in large batches, and are currently only offering this one style. So, sadly we cant offer a oem style position at this time.

    With the new angle Is there still enough room so that you don't hit the climate control buttons when you shift?
    1 Answer
    • customer service rep

      The MPx shifter moves the shifter closer to the driver, so there is LESS of a problem with you hitting the climate control buttons than before.

    Stupid question. Will this work on the 2.0L

    Hey, so my only question is can any aftermarket universal knob fit this short thrown shifter? Or is it the 2 OEM ones you provide on the site? Thank you.
    1 Answer
    • Customer Service Rep

      The two best fitting knobs for this shifter are the OEM one, and the MPx direct replacement knob. Sure , other aftermarket knobs could fit but we cant guarantee the fit, or if they wont come loose over time.
  • Rob
    Does this come with the same thread pattern as factory? Or does it have a different pattern that is more common with aftermarket shifters?
    1 Answer
    • Customer Service Rep

      This shifter has the exact same threading on the rod end as factory. This allows you to use your OEM knob, of the MPx shift knob.
