Can anyone offer a solution for this? I like this ****, but I don't want to buy a short shifter. Any ideas? I was thinking about cutting the stock shifter, but I don't know how to rethread it...

 

scrunch the boot all the way down and call it 'rally style'

 

Damn, now that's a tall shifter. To rethread, all you need is a tap-and-die set but I forget what the threading pitch is.

 

12x1.25

 

There ya go, get a hacksaw and a tap-and-die at 12x1.25 and go to town.

 

How do you think the shifter looks in its current state?

BTW, what do I need to buy for a tap and die thingy? I don't really plan on using it again, so I'm looking to buy the minimum... I don't anything about tap and dies, so any help would be appreciated. I ask b/c I'm browsing online and I see a plethora of choices...

 

Buy a dremel tool with a cutting wheel. That is what i did and just cut the shifter down and now it looks like a short throw and feels better too, but a short throw is better. You can only cut it though if the **** is held by set screws. If it threads on then you need to tap and put threads on the part that is not cut. But a dremel tool is AWSOME!!! Everyone needs one[/img]

 

That shifter is still the same height as the stock. It is just doesnt have metal finish all the way down to the boot. If you buy an obx **** it has a space that goes all the way down.

 

Yeah, actually that is the stock shifter. I just switched from an OBX **** so that was the problem...I think I just may cut it down and re-thread it.
