IPS426 Short Throw Shifter 1992-2010 Vipers
The IPSCO Short Throw Shifter (STS), is designed to reduce the distance your hand needs to move to engage the next gear, thus reducing the amount of time spent shifting, reducing wasted time between shifts, and resulting in improved performance. We have decreased throw by reducing the angle that the shifter shaft travels through during its stroke between gears. IPSCO’s design changes the pivot point geometry of the short shifter from the stock factory shifter to reduce the distance that the upper section must travel to achieve the same degree of movement in the lower section where the shift rod engages. This ensures that although your hand is moving a shorter distance, the transmission is still fully engaged in every gear, and is carefully designed to create the optimal throw length, angular shift throw, and shift knob height. The design also includes springs to help users accurately move from gate to gate, to help prevent missed shifts and over revving of the engine on down shifts. The end result is a shorter, precise shift, which requires a shorter hand movement to engage the next gear, and looks and feels sportier.

Short Throw Shifter (STS) by IPSCO for Dodge Vipers 1992-2010
Short Throw Shifter 101:
The distance that the shifter has to move between gears is known as throw. A short throw shifter is designed to increase the speed of the shift by making the distance traveled shorter and by making the mechanical aspects of the shift smooth and effortless. A common misconception is that a short shifter is just a chopped off version of the stock shifter. In fact, chopping your shifter has no effect on the angle that your shifter shaft travels through between gears and therefore does not reduce the shifter’s angular throw.

IPS143X Seat Lowering Kit Fixed 2″ – 03-10 Vipers
Seat Lowering Kit – Fixed 2″Â 03-10 Vipers
This fixed seat lowering kit lowers the 03-10 SRT seat a full 2 inches, allowing extra knee room and headroom for even the tallest Viper driver. The seat will no longer slide forward or backwards, but the seat back can be tilted.
2008-2010 owners *** IMPORTANT AIRBAG FACTS ***
Decision regarding seat lowering and air bag operation for both seats on 08-10 SRT10 Vipers.
Both passenger seats have a new system in the Viper that will correctly determine the weight of an occupant and adjust the airbag to on or off. It has some criteria to be met though as it is MUCH more advanced than any system has been before it.
Between 65 and 105 pounds the system will determine the need for the airbag at all. This will be based on a correctly seated person! This is true for all the levels of adjustment. You must sit in the seat correctly and distribute your weight evenly in the seat without leaning for/aft or side to side. Within seconds after starting the car the system will “lock in” your values. If this is not done correctly and the light is incorrect for your weight it is best to exit the running vehicle and wait 2-6 minutes before re entering the vehicle. At 2 minutes the corrected value is 80% and as the minutes increase to 6 minutes the corrected percentage gets closer to 100. The system also monitors and updates your weight and “position” in the vehicle every 2 minutes after that.
At 120+ pounds the airbag will still be monitored by the system but will be in the ON mode. It is still critical that your weight is evenly distributed though as it senses this every 2 minutes.
This all being said if you install the seat lowering kit you will need to do the following:
Both seats have a position sensor located under the seat, that controls the air bag by proximity to the steering wheel for force adjustment.
If the seat is lowered and the switch is not installed correctly the force of the airbag is unknown but it WILL still deploy if the conditions are met for it. The seat position sensor (a metal proximity sensor), will need to be adjacent to metal when the seat is from midway to the far back position, so you will need to zip tied it to the metal frame of the seat. The purpose of this sensor is to either reduce the air bag charge, or turn the air bag off if the car is driven with the seat positioned all the way forward, being the seat lowering kit moves the seat all the way to the rear, the sensor will report the correct seat position. Also you will need to leave the pressure senor under the seat as-is.
*** All this information is a mute point though because you will be totally liable for the failure should you install this seat lowering kit. *** Â

IPSCO short throw shiftter review
A quick review for any Gen II owners thinking about getting the IPSCO STS ……….DO IT !!!!! Money well spent. The shifting on my GTS was a pain in the ass, to the point it was taking away the joy of driving it. It’s hard to have fun when your constantly thinking about weather or not your next shift is gonna go where you want it to. Then when it does happen, beating your self thinking was it me ? Did i have the correct grip for the gear change I wanted ? Well after changing engine mounts , transmission mounts (all poly) which helped , but did not stop it. I had enough and gave Mark at IPSCO a call and ordered one of his STS last week. Now before you start thinking it must be operator error. Let me say I’ve been driving standard shift vehicles for 21 years. After driving my daily driver manual 6 speed, cable shifted FWD 135 miles a day back N forth to work. It made shifting the viper less tolerable. Well it’s fixed now and I don’t have the anxiety when shifting.

I agree! Thought it was just me. Added the IPSCO STS this year and my shifts went from sloppy to accurate and solid. Not missed a shift since adding it, and without hoping I remembered where I positioned my hand for each shift. They just snap into gear! The best upgrade I’ve made for driving pleasure.

OEM shifter vs IPSCO short throw shifter. Visually there’s absolutely no comparison. IPSCO’s STS is overbuilt with every component machined from a solid chunk of billet 6061 aluminum. Plus it’s made right here in the good ole USA, which means a lot to me. This will provide a much more precise, crisp gear engagement and of course a shorter throw between gear selections. I also selected to replace the shift lever isolator with an unit that lowers the shift knob two inches. The shifter cup on mine was worn enough that you could almost see through it and of course the Viper tax on this little part is unbelievable. Luckily it’s just a generic part for all T-56 transmissions so I was able to purchase it for considerably less by buying it through a Corvette vender ?
