It's a fact that the shifter in any Evo is a bit fuzzy. Never quite sure exactly where you are. Plenty you can do to fix it though.

This project is ALMOST back to the top of my list of things to do AGAIN! Hopefully nothing gets in its way so i can get it done before i decide to sell the car. By the way how much do you think i could get for my GG Evo 9 MR with 18,000 miles? I am willing to sit on it so i am NOT looking for a fast sell! I am NOT selling because i need the money i just have another car in mind! Thanks Guys, Trever

so i am not going to say where i sit with this project. Altho i will ask how much people would be willing to pay for a SHORTENED shifting lever? NOT a short shifter! This mod could be anywhere from 1/4" - 2" shorter than stock!

I am also doing a short shifter for the 6-speed but am still testing a few ways to complete that. When its all said and done (hopefully by the same time i finalize the shortened lever) how much would you guys pay for the SHORT SHIFTER? The short shifter mod i am planing to be at LEAST 35% shorter than stock! Stock is 4" throw mod'ed will be 2.6"!

Let me know!

does the 6 speed knob turn off like a normal one. I have put some pretty good torque on mine but an worried to break any plastic parts. Anyone have a pic of the shifter assy together and disassembled. I have access to some 3d modeling software so I wouldnt mind drawing it up on a computer and seeing how it can be modified. Maybe give some people some ideas.

i used a strap wrench to get mine off. Just put it on there than banged on the end of the wrench to simulate a impact wrench and it finally broke loose!

I currently have the shifter all drawn up digitally and am working to see what can be done. i know i can shorten the shifter (not shorten the throw) but cutting the shifting lever and reverse lockout assembly than welding the lever back together and making a piece to screw the reverse lockout assembly back together.

To shorten the actual throw i will have to modify the levers mounted on the tranny.

yeah compared to 5 speed the 6 speed is sort of sloppy.
