I finally shortened my B&M ripper shifter!!!! I cut it off with a cutoff saw and then bought a 16mm x 1.5 thread pitch die from revell hardware for $7.47. I had to taper the top of the shifter a little bit to get the die started on it but once it started it was a breeze. It's looks great and now i have an instant short throw shifter that's 1 1/2" shorter than the factory and all for under $10.00. I'll post some pics of it but i don't have it in the car yet bc the trans it out at the moment

 

Cool I need to do the same thing!

 

What's the obsession with short sticks? I think the shorter throw will be overshadowed by the reduction in leverage.

 

ive done that but put on one of the generic bolt on heads... it made it much harder to shift but i think i cut 2 inches or so off...

 

There's something wrong with your trans if you're concerned about leverage. It's not a truck.

 

I was mainly goin for a sleeker look with the cutoff shifter and not necessarily for the benefit of a shorter shift.
