looking to have a short shifter, but ill be dagnabit to spend a hundred bucks for one....I think thats ridiculous for 2 rods and a few nuts. cant I just cut the shifter? is there anything wrong with taking a dremel to it and re-attaching the knob?
from experience i know i should ask this kind of thing before i go demolition on my baby This post has been edited by e30og: Oct 19, 2010 - 10:22 PM -------------------- same skidpad grip as a 2006 M3....stock. 'nuff said

A $100 shifter is a lot more than just a shift lever that is made shorter. It's phyisically different, leverage is at different points so the throw is shorter too, not just the lever. The TRD Quickshifter isn't actually shorter at all, but makes the throw shorter.
But just cut yours, I'm sure you'll love it. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
