i thought i saw this on here somewere but i searched and couldnt find it.

but there was somthing about removing the ring under the shift knob and drilling or somthing.... you can reduce it by an inch?


can someone rederect me to that thread or tell me how this is done.

 

um no one?

 

pretty much what I think your trying to say is cutting the stock shifter and then re-threading the shifter so its smaller

 

no im talking about the black plastic ring inbetween the knob and the leather

 

i really dont see how that will shorten your shifter.

 

ive seen that post...supposedly if you remove the ring you can cut the height of the ring to the shifter then place again the knob without the ring reducing the total height a bit

 

Uh... I never heard of that one. So basically you're looking for a cheap way to "lower" your shift knob.. not so much the throw of it..?

 

exactly...makes alsmost no sense to do that

 

yeah i've heard about it being done. just take the knob, hold on tight and drill into it about an inch.

 

then wont there be a problem about screwing it back on

 

no there wont.. theres no advantage to it what so ever

 

maybe hes thinking it can give him a shorter throw

 

Buy a kartboy shifter.....I think it's a fair bit lower and the throws are short....

 

+1 with Adam... Unless you really want a "low-level throwing shifter.." haha

 

physics guys, physics. and really this is simple trig you should already know this when you get to physics.

this will give you a shorter throw, just not as much as moving the cable mounts on the bottom of the shifter. if you decide to drill out your shift knob you will probably destroy the threads in it and have issues mounting it back on. you can MAYBE cut a few threads off the top of the shifter, and take the ring off the bottom, to lower the shift knob. the cheapest/easiest way would be to cut and weld your shifter
