is there anything else i can do for you sir

 

lol theres my project for tomorrow
so what are the chances of ******* up my shifter? all im doing is heating it up and pulling right?

 

believe me you wont **** this up DONT USE EPOXY or any of that **** because if you go to grab second hard and break it its gonna suck driving home with a 2 inch shifter and also VERY IMPORTANT when you weld it back together make sure its straight unless you like bent shifters

 

wait, you didnt say anything about welding before

 

1st page 10th post

 

oh well, i have no way of welding

 

bring it to a welding shop they'll probably charge you 10 bucks or a garage or a bodyshop it's so easy to weld they might even do it for free if they already have the welder out

 

No you don't weld anything. I'm posting pictures of mine. Give me a few minutes

 

what it looks like after you remove the top shaft.

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but doesnt just cutting down the height of the shifter give a feel or a shorter shift. I'm all for shortening the height of the shifter but IIRC you must change the fulcrum point for it to be a true short throw shifter.

BTW I have a C's short shifter and love it.

 

I understand what you're saying.
The thing is, someone has a C's shifter and the feel is nice but not so much different from mine that made me pull it out and get a "true short shifter". I've gotten used to mine and gives me a positive shift whether at the tracks or just cruising and doesn't need a lot of force as some would think. I think when it involves brackets, linkages and rod like with other transmissions then it makes a bigger difference.

 

That's about it yo, cutting the length is more of something unneeded since the shifter is shorter, but the throw just 'feels' so.

 

well literaly its a short shifter, but to be a short throw shifter is all about the bushings i think. Im just going to do what boosted did, Till i get monies, then ill get a C

 

I have a C short shifter and the throw is literally half that of my buddies s5 TII. You probably move it about .5" and you can put it in 1st or 2nd. I've felt other ss's and they were terrible, mine is nice and smooth. I measure the top of the shifter from putting it in 1st to 2nd and the move was 2.5in" between the shift. I put the original shifter **** on it for a clean look.

 

how come my shifter is 1 piece??? or so it seems...both s4 and s5 n/a. someone help me out here

 

it's 2 piece held togteher by rubber check it again eirthr that or someones already been there

 

intresting but i think i will stick with my plan of getting one from MT

 

I just took a shift **** off of an old volkswagen and put it on. It lowered it about 11/2 inches. It just looks a little ghetto b/c reverse is by first on the vw shiftknob
