Short shifter?

[Fondle]

is there anyway to mod the stock shifter to work like a short shifter? i am having trouble finding a 5 speed short shifter at a decent price so was looking to modify my stock one

Re: Short shifter?

save up and get something worthwhile like a b&m short throw or check out ebay for some decent prices. myself and a lot of the guys on here seem to have the b&m ripper and personally i love mine...one of my first mods actually:)

if you're really struggling to find something lemme know bc I might still have a hurst short-throw lying around that you could put to good use. Had a mixup and got both a hurst and b&m as gifts and I went with the b&m.

Re: Short shifter?

you could try shaving your shifter handle down, but i wouldnt.

Re: Short shifter?

well the b&m is over 200$ shipped and i didnt want to spend that, and all the ones i found on ebay are for 6 speeds, so if you would sell me the hurts at a decent price that would be awesome

Re: Short shifter?

Northern Auto parts has a ProForm for $76 shipped. I have it and it's essentially a B&M knock off. I cut my stock shifter down, and, while it was abit nicer, it's nothing compared to an actual short shifter.

Re: Short shifter?

so if i were to try to make one just for giggles, what is it that is changed over a stock shifter that makes it a "short" shifter, obviously i know it makes shorter shifts, but whats different to give it this effect?

Re: Short shifter?

the fulcrum point is change. You might be able to make one, but I'd just buy the one from Northern Auto Parts man; for $76 shipped, you can't go wrong.

Re: Short shifter?

i'll do some searching and make sure i still have that hurst short throw if you're interested. I have no use for it so i can definitely work out a decent price for you man :)

keep checking out your options and i'll get back to you when i make sure i have it.

Re: Short shifter?

i checked the northern auto and i cant find a shifter for 75$ for my car, i have a welder so i was thinking i could probably weld an extra piece to lower the fulcrum if i cant get a good deal on one, please get back to me tho ballermaro

Re: Short shifter?

will do good sir i'll go check storage tomorrow and find out for sure

Re: Short shifter?

I checked Northern Auto; they still have the shifter, but they've raised their prices. They're now $100 for them. Still not a bad price, but you might be able to find a used one for around there.

Re: Short shifter?

Just found the ol' Hurst for ya man...still in the original box and ready for install. Pm me if you wanna work out a price and shipping info. It'll be nice knowing it's getting put to good use instead of sitting around.
