AN IDEA FOR YOU PEOPLE

**prospect2052** · 10-12-2005, 01:50 PM

if you are one of those people that want to get rid of that tall ass shifter, dont buy a short shifter, waste of money, just cut it off like i did w/ a grinder, and then tap and dye it to create new threads and since the inside of your shifter is plastic, itll form its own new threads, just twist it back on.

thats not a knew idea by any means
but thanks for the input

i think most people end up going to a real short shifter in the long run anyways

and even if you go that far.. you jsut ahve a short shaft... not shorter throws based on angle...
you need to move the pivot ball for that...

get a torch.. heat it up and then tap the shaft a few times to increas the lower portion abotu 1-2 cm... that will create lower shift angles and faster shifting however this should only be done with s bends and the kink bends will have you punching the dash if you do...

but yeah.. nice of you to put it out there like that...
