I was at Autobarn today and they had shortshifter kits for automatics for $350. Why the hell would an automatic need a shortshifter and why the hell would anyone pay $350 for it? It's not like you even touch the shifter at any time other than when you're starting, reversing or stopping.

Look up a company called b&m. That's why. Primary use is purpose built drag cars or classic muscle.
