Maddog Short Throw Shifter 2003-2005 Dodge SRT4

Will the Maddog short throw shifter work in my 00 neon? It looks like it will bolt right in. Im currently using the Booger Shift Linkage Bushings if that matters. Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I've seen they all have the same shifter base and such. Maddog makes them for all year neons though.

on modernperformance they only sell them for the 03-05 srt-4, I dodn't know they made them for all years.

Yes it will work.

I have an 02 srt swaped, I had it before I swapped (same shifter chassis) and the shifter worked with both sets of cables.

Yep, it will work fine.

All 00-05 Neon shifter assemblies are essentially the same design except for different boots, knobs and finish on the rod.

And Dante recommends it.

Sooo, Dante, when will it be a Titanium Knob?

And notice in post 5, how the avatar and pic are very similar...

It shall be a titanium spork knob.

That is pretty funny...I didn't notice how alike they looked

Titanium is great, but it would be too light to use as a shift knob for my tastes. And the spoork would really mess my hand up

^Yea I was confused for a second... I was like, why is he going to a titanium knob? Those things are light as hell! haha

Hey before installing your shifter goto the vendor section and get a set of Johny Mopar solid cradle bushings for 14 bucks. Maddog shortthrow+ Johny Mopars+Boogers=VOLTRON!!

randomZERO: thanks for the heads up, I just placed an order with Johny.

I just got mine, but it looks like the shifter is not straight. The bend of the shifter is pointing more towards driver side insteadt of middle. Does this make sence? I will post pic if neccesary....maybe thats the way its supposed to be???

Mine sorta "leans" that way as well. AFAIK it's supposed to. Other Neons I've seen have proven the same, but I'm no expert.

acr · Post by **acr** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 4:09 pm

oh ok, just wanted to double check before I install it.

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 6:11 pm

Yep, that's the way it's made. Once the boot is on it will look normal.

acr · Post by **acr** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 8:18 pm

thanks danteneon for the quick reply.

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Fri Mar 05, 2010 10:21 am

I was a bit slow there. Wasn't sure if you were going to wait on the install till you were sure.
