    Re: Shifters: Stock vs B&M vs Hurst

    I really don't think I need a more positive shift or any of that. I just want a shorter shift. I've missed the famous 2-3 shift I think 2x in the whole time I've had my car. Plus, at the moment I have a whole $2 to my name :D

      it's not really about missing the shift to 3rd. it's about being able to do it fast.

        OK. Could someone just give me some pointers to cutting the stock shifter then? Do I just take a cut-off wheel to it, or are there some special procedures? Anything I need to watch out for? And I did search, so.....

            I did it. Not too sure exactly how much I took off (misplaced the peice when I pulled everything out of my car), but it was about 1 1/4". I think that's a good height, otherwise I'd need a shorter boot. Anyways, time for pics:

            All in all, I'm glad I did it. It definitely looks ALOT better than it did before. I haven't really gotten to try it out yet, but from the short time I drove it, it felt nice. The pictures of the knobs where taken sitting ontop of the armrest, so I'm certain they're at the same angle, or very close, so you can see just how much of a difference it made.

              Are you still happy with the ProForm? At Northern's price, it seems the best for me, since I do not care for a shorter shifter. I want firness and speed and short throw.
