Custom Short Shifter, - Is this a good idea?? Options

[Jaws4God]

My friend made a custom short shifter by simply cutting it and re-threading it.

I would like to have a shorter shifter just because ours are so high when they are stock... i'm not looking for any performance upgrade just to have it shorter.

Would you guys think this is ok to do?

this is what mine looks like now:







(if this is a repost, i'm sorry, i tried a search and couldn't find anything similar to this)

Coomer and digndoug have came up with making a shortshifter from a lancer. you can find one on ebay for like 30 bucks.

Yes and it rocks. This is a true short shifter. Just cutting it will not make it a short shifter, it will just not be as tall. I would say if you have a day off and wanna work on your car, order the lancer shifter from e-bay. it also comes with an i think awsome shifter. Then get some washers and bolts and some cutting and its perfect.

Its shorter shifts and is smoother and lighter then stock.
