Love that shifter! If I hadn't already bought an eBay special, I'd gladly pay for one of those!

you know you could have jsut unbolted the one rod conected to the shifter and pulled the shifter out and cut the bottom in between the ball and the bottom where it bolted to the rod, and added like a inch or how much you wanted and welded it up and put it back in and it would work jsut as good. haha thats what im gona do.
but nice work

Hmmmmm.......wheels are turnin'.......got a sawzall/welder....hm....

[resuwrecked]

I need to make a setup like that, I'm tired of my shifter dropping and hitting the exhaust every time the rubber part craps out. I hope you have solid trans mounts, otherwise you have turned your shifter brace into a trans brace. Nice fab.

Very nice work! (adding to my list)

thanks what commercial is that?

It must be a regional thing. We have an oil commercial (Mobil 1, I think) where there's a short guy dressed in riding pants and a beret with a Scottish accent and carrying a 3 foot long dipstick (like a riding crop). He walks through people's garages when they're changing oil and whips them as hard as he can across the back of the legs and says, "Start thinkin' with your dipstick, Jimmy!".

Imagine if it were real life? I imagine if he did that around here, there would be 3 feet of dipstick jammed up his...:bootyshake:

Funny commercial though

its kind of hard to tell what you are talking about but i think that are trying to say to just make the bottom half of the shifter longer... i did that and i had it so long it allmost hit my exhaust and the throw was still to long lol...

go for it im so glad i had my friends plasma cutter... the thing is so handy, i had the center cut out in NO time...

2 birds with one stone lol jk.... i still have the rubber mount on the trans, and when i do my motor swap im filling all the mounts with extra rubber to stiffen them up a bit

Nice job, just add some adjustable over travel stops ( a couple bolts with jam nuts ) to prevent over travel. Over travel can wear down sycros.

[sasquatch]

i want a sssts!! how much??

im not to sure if i can make a "kit" or anything i have been getting some ideas and may be able to make somthing work but it would require the buyer to cut the center bit where i cut and also drill 4 holes to mount the plates... then i may be able to make a kit but i dont know if everyone can do that...

nice very nice

thanks

[eurotiva]

Make a couple and see.....
