This is a replacement aftermarket 8" short throw manual shifterfor 2006.5-2018 3rd Gen Dodge trucks Ram 6-speed. Hand machined and Tig welded by Ohio Diesel Parts from solid 304 Stainless Steel.If you're looking for an improved smoother shift this is the perfect mix of a comfortable shift with a major throw reduction. Short straight throw design reduces the area of the throw by 20% compared to the factory set up. Shifts are much easier and stronger since the 5/8" diameter solid Stainless does not flex like factory. Includes 30 oz. 304 SS solid weight welded to the bottom to allow smooth effortless shifts. By welding the entire shifter as a solid piece unlike the factory set-up, the damper breaking point has been eliminated which is a common problem. The factory rubber damper often breaking after only a couple thousand miles! Keep in mind the removal of the damper may cause some noise in the cab depending on your transmission
