Hey Guys,

I remember seeing a thread on how to shorten the shifter on an A/T. Can anyone link me to it? I already tried searching for it.

Thanks!

 

Just turn it clockwise.
A towel and vise grips helps

 

Rodney did it...

What u came for... surgery with the


or Dremel

 

LMAO you stupid E

 

Alright found the thread guys. Thanks!

 

I just kept tightening mine (turning clockwise) and it went all the way down.

 

^ are you serious? How much shorter will it go just by turning it?

 

It goes down all the way to where the bottom of the shift knob hits the shifter gate plate. Be careful not to go down too far or you will not be able to use the manual sportshift.

 

geezus x_X seems like you went pretty damn low...


anyone got pictures of this?

 

um yea you can get pretty damn low without having to cut it... thats what I came up with and ton of peeps have done it

 

AHHAH, thats tight!

 

So all you have to do is just keep turning the shifter and it will go lower? Does it thread itself further up inside?

 

 

Any pics on this?

 

I'll wait for pics before I attempt this

and don't show me Rodney's pics because he cut his

 

+1

i totally agree. i did this and it worked great, but when i popped it in to "manual" it hit the silver edging around the shifter. so i just had to unscrew it a little and its all good now. this is a great free mod and it looks great when it sits a little lower. the only time you need to cut it is if you have an after market knob or the small wood know from the 2G TL. it is a lot shorter and there isnt as much room to twist it down.

 

i never took any pics but i can try to take some today if you want...

 

has ne1 tried this to confirm it works

 

can u post a video plz

 

dont mind the blurry camera pics, but this is about as low as you can go without hitting anything. i dont have any stock photos though.







and with it in "manual" mode"

 

^^^ thanks for the pics.


but is your knob a bit crooked? o_O looks like it

also wanted to know if you decided to put it back at stock height would it be loose? i just dont get how you can keep making it go lower without hurting anything down under xP

 

my Type-S shifter wont go any lower than the stock height

 

yeah, it is a little crooked but thats because thats how my hand sits. i could just turn it a little and straighten it out, i just dont want to. i did it for ergonomics not aesthetics

i dont think there would be any problem putting it back to stock height. it is just a screw and its hard to turn, so i dont think it will ever get really loose unless you twist it every day. from what i can remember it took like 10-14 turns to get it down that low. i actually had it lower but had to raise it up because it was hitting the plastic edging. i dont see any reason to raise it though. it looks fine and it creates some extra space to get in to the top storage compartment when you are in park, so for me this is a keeper.

 

are you sure? i didnt think mine would either until i turned it really hard...

TLAdvanced did it to his

 

try harder. mine felt like it wouldnt budge, but with a little force it kept turning.

 

I dont like the leather handle shifter. Im going to buy a greddy 1.

 

It won't hurt anything. The inside of the knob has plastic threads and it makes new threads very easily.

Yes it will! I have a type-s. Just turn it like you mean it. You can do it put your back into it!

 

Awesome! Thanks for the pics dude!

I'm gonna workout my biceps this week and attempt this on the weekend when I'm feeling a bit stronger

 

Nice!

 

Great Performance Mod!!!!!!

Ima get Tyler to be the guinea pig on this one ;p

 

Never heard about this before. I just came back from my car and mine turned without much effort. I like it short much better, thx for posting this up Roy
FREE MODS FTW!!! :P

 

Just did this.. Didn't go as low as the pic cause it was getting pretty tight but i turned it about 5 times lower then stock.


Thanks!!!

 

lol funny

 

I'm gonna put my back into it tonight!!! Good sh*t!!!

 

Man I tried this and my shifter didn't budge one bit. Guess i'll have to a little bit harder.

 

arent yall scared the shifter gonna break? lol i seen skunk 2 short shifter break because of twisting to hard.

 

Compared to mine even though the pic is not close up you can see it has some length there..



Gonna turn that thing tomorrow to see it go down!

 

how cool...i just did mine and its low..feels like i just gained 5hp....yeeeha

 

5hp on the butT dyno or you saw the gain on the torque curve from the dyno ?

 

...it actually works! -_- i just did for kicks while i was driving home...lol
surprisingly, it looks pretty darn kewl...but i "dropped" it a tad
