I was curious if there was a way to shorten the shifter in my 02 TL-S. I know its an automatic, but it still sticks up kinda high. Anything factory replacement?

 

take off the knob, and you can cut off a little of the threaded rod with a hacksaw, saw that somewhere on this site.

 

get a shorter knob

 

Cut some off the knob. You will only be able to cut it so far or the shifter wont move down to 1st without hitting.

 

get different shift knobs. some sit differently. friend gave me one and it was great. until i couldnt pull it into 1st without hitting the shiftgate. so yeah, it's possible without the hacksaw.

but otherwise, that works too

Here you go... Just make sure you don't cut too much!

 

As shifters go its already pretty low. Best of luck lowering it

 

dang i was just about to link to slackerz thread.

 

hmmm, thanx guys, I may check into that, AFTER the temp moves up from -40° yea, I said -40°!!!

 

yeah, we should get some kind of living bonuses for being here instead of florida and cali

 

I used a good blade on a Dremel to do mine. Just cut off about 1/4" if you're using the same knob.

Get the 07-08 TL-S shift knob. It looks great, feels comfy, and sits MUCH lower. I have one F/S if you want it. PM me

 

I kinda like that. What do you want for the extra one you got? I just wish it was a Dark black leather color with silver carbon fiber

 

Chris, can you even get that all the way down into D1/2?
