Short shifter made from stocker no welding required! I decided to try my hand at making a short shifter without welding.
Since I have a MOMO **** that doesn't require threads I decided to find out if there was enough shifter shaft beneath all the OEM cover up.
I enlisted my neighbor Tom to do the initial cutting since he has every tool known to mankind and he is much more mechanically inclined than yours truly. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
Basically we cut the black tube on both sides and then pulled out the interior piece (alloy colored) which has the rubber filled cylinder surrounding the shaft.
We cut the cylinder off and then were left with just the shaft.
I left the base as is and didn't cut off the rivets.
Here are some shots with the shifter installed.
I REALLY like this mod.
All thats left is to get a shorty shift boot. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Feels pretty good.
Stiffer and notchier than stock, but not as stiff as a Kirban or Ripper.
The throws are short!
