best method to shorten shifter
#6
+1 for shortening it...welding it back isnt too hard and you can tack weld it and take more off if its still too long... just make sure you grind a V groove so the weld gets deep... good luck..

I'm not sure what shifter came with my buddies but it didnt have enough threads to get an inch... thats why we welded... but the more i searched it seems most of them are supposed to...

I cut and welded my Hurst shift stick because I did not like how the WS6 store short shifter put my shift **** farther over due to the fact that it's straight, not curved. Driven it over 13,000 miles so far and it's perfect. There's no way you're going to break a weld done properly with only 3 inches of leverage to break it.
