After checking/replacing bushings what are the best options for short shift action on a side shifter ? Personal experience with particular equipment appreciated. TIA

for 20 yrs i've had a Slick-Shift kit in mine, plus the optional reverse lockout update,
I replaced the stock 901 style linkage on my 914-6 with a short shifter when I changed to a side shifting 914 transmission instead of the stock 914-6 transmission (different from both types of 914-4 transmissions). With all new bushings and careful set-up, it shifts very nicely but the effort has gone up slightly.
I think that renewing all of the bushings and having a side shifting transmission probably accounted for 95% of the improvement. The short shifter didn't make that much of a difference in my opinion.
