So my buddies girls civic had 240,000 miles on it and the clutch was completely shot. So in stead of replacing the clutch, we dicided to do a motor swap, and clutch too. So we did the swap in about 18 hours. Well after that my buddy has a thing where every motor swap we do he takes a piston from the used motor. Well he brought it in to George Webb's (a small restaurant franchise) and set it on the table. While i was playing with the PIST-ON, i thought to myself, what a fine shift **** that would make. If i welded a weed wacker piston or something that it would be kinda funny, But i would like your guys' opinion, WOULD IT BE A DISCRACE OR WOULD IT BE COOL?

 

Eh... I don't like it. BUT, with a little work, a rotor-shaped shift **** could be made. Rotor milled on top, that tapers down. Then a rounded triangular peice of acrylic or something. Easily done, but EXPENSIVE unless a large quantity was made.

 

i was think of doin that with a spider man head attenna cap from taco bell

 

IC WELL KEEP THE INFO COMING. IDK I THINK IT WOULD BE FUNNY OR MAYBE COOL. BUT A ROTOR SHAPED ONE WOULD BE COOL TOO.

 

They already sell piston shaped shift *****.

 

That would be stupid and not very functional when trying to shift. Especially if you are racing and have to shift alot

 

I don't see why? i think it would work out fine. It would be a hand-sized pist-on something that was small enough.

 

I mainly think it would be stupid on a rotary powered car and I dont think it would be all that comfortable when doing alot of shifting, but go ahead and try it and let us know how it turns out.

 

Geeeeeez, you kids keep thinking you've come up with something new! Watch the movie 'American Grafiti' sometime and see the cool guy with the cowlick and ducktail haircut give a girl his shift **** - a REAL piston shifter - if you can think of it, it's probably been done before and better!

 

gee thanks sorry i don't watch american graffitti everyday. Otherwise i would have know that. It was just a ******* IDEA. I never said it was a new idea i just asked what everyone thought.

 

I have a piston shift **** on a '63 impala, isn't very comfortable though.
