This looks like a great idea! I have a welder and I am going to do this. Beats spending $400 any day.

Make sure to call luke and get the bushings too!! It is very important to get the stiff accurate shifter feeling!!! just ask for the UUC shifter bushings

I have two questions: first, does the shifter seem noisey after the install of the uuc bushings (I've been through a lot of LOUD A$$ shifters in the stang). Second, does the shifter feel tighter as in like wanting to return 'home' when you put it in neutral. I always liked that about steeda tri-ax shifters. Thanks.

Schweet. I bought the commodore/monaro shift boot and ****. This will be a great addition to the mod when I do it all here in a cpl weeks. Gotta get the uuc bushings on order. Thanks a lot for the idea man.

Yes that should be sweet! and thank 2003rc51 because he basically had the idea way back when he saw a Thread on a guy installing the tpis shifter. I just let him use me as a Guinea pig for the first one he made

great pics...I think I can try to get a welder help me with this. can you tell me exactly what kind of pipe I need to ask for and how long it needs to be? I saw 1 1/16th, just wanted to verify it. I hope I can find a welder to do it now!
