What are those two things next to the short shifter? Check valves?

Sorry about the confusion, they are completely unrelated to the shifter.

Check the link to what these are:

You're able to install a short shifter in a V160 swapped SC? I thought you couldn't because of how low the stock V160 shifter sits. At least mine is very low, I'd rather swap in a short shifter too.

It sits at the same height just reduces throws by 30% and feels much better

Awesome, I may get this then. Does it come with the plastic cup retainer for the lever? The ball part of the lever sits in it? I need to replace my lever, and the plastic cup comes with a new lever only.

no it does not come with that plastic cup. what you see is what you get. my v160 shifter was new when I got it so ill just transfer it over.
