i bet if we alltalk to george enough about it. he could just make that stick witht the 16mm thread. shouldn't be to hard.

i think he stuck with 12mm so he didn't have to have alot of shifter ***** around.

this way all his **** uses same shifter ****

http://www.ddperformance.com/Shifters%20&%20Knobs.htm . You have to call and order it. Came to $39 shipped. Way better than the autozone **** they try to sell you for $40

Just as an FYI I just called today to order a shifter and the stock 16mm thread option is now available. I ordered the 12mm option and a gripper **** though since my stock one is worn out.

That is excellent news. Why don't they have it on their site? Also, how much did it cost you total?

250 - 200 for the shifter, 50 for the gripper ****.

If you get the 16mm you would only pay 200 and re-use your ****.
