Im thinking about getting a 7th Gen short shifter but i was talking to a buddy of mine that had an older miata and he said that he just cut his shifter short and then rethreaded the end of it for his shifter knob. how hard would it be for me to do that? or would it even work that way?

i cut mine, i have a gt-s. and i mean its was so long b4 that it does make a nice difference. it does make the thorw shotter in the sense that your hand travels less, but what u gain in distance u sacrifice in force. it is harder to shift bcuz u dont have the leverage of the added lenght. i was pleasantly surprised with my results when i cut mine.
