i wanted a sportier look so i got a stock shifter and sent it with my friend (he is pretty handy with metal) he cut 2 sections out of it, one below the bends one above - about an inch each. i installed it yesterday with some energy suspension bushings. here are a couple of pics, one compares the new shifter with stock and the other is a pic of it in the car.





holy damn my car is dirty!

 

that doesn't look too bad, looks a little too short though. how does it feel?

 

well there is no different in the actual throw but being shorter but it has less travel (pendulum theory) sooo its not a real short shifter, just looks cool

with the new bushings, it feels nice and solid... it looks really short (and it is) but i really like it, not hard to reach... the only big big change is i cant fiddle with the cd player without takin my hand off of the shift knob

 

nice cd player, but i think it looks better in my car :thumbup:

 

hahahah :fawk: i like it, just wish it played mp3

 

You should see mine. It puts the shifter right next to the steering wheel!

 

so you got that huge rally looking shifter?

 

wow, i thought mine was too tall steering wheel? lets see a pic of that...

 

Yessir!

I'll have to install it first, I might try to do it next weekend.

 

hmm.. i don't like it.
