Re:modification of short shifter

[Turbonetics]

Hi,i just bought a short shifter and will be DIYing it myself.

we know that short shifter helps reduce the throw of the gear distance between each gear.

my new shifter is actually about 2 cm longer than my stock one but the throw distance is about 20% shorter.

but then,i have the urge to cut it shorter by about 3-3.5cm which is shorter than my stock ones.

therefore before i make my final decision,i would like to hear your views.

thanks for reading.

you cut short...then how u gonna screw in the knob? i thought short shifters can also allow you to adjust the throw? its not abt how short the gearstick is also ma...is the length of travel... anyways y yr CVR only boost 1 bar? Life for turbo starts @ 2 bar and above

other than using screw,there are other methods to fix the gearknob also.

i thought the shorter the stick,the short the length of travel?or is it same?

same for mine...my short shifter throw shorter but height similar to stock....have tried to cut too but cant find wkshops to do it...made worse by the fact that mine is the damn heavy solid iron....i decided to jus leave it..

Bro...as i said before it is good to have longer gear stick. I still stick to this theory. Don't cut it...I use to have a short one but regreted cos the reach is terrible and tend to misshift.

my previous ride has got a shorter shifter,so iam actually more used to short ones.

anyway,i won't be cutting it already.

just give a try on a longer shifter,maybe i will have a change of mind.haha.

iam now still figuring out how to remove my stock shifter.

very tricky job.

Now that your pivot point of the shifter is shorter by 20%...u will also reduce some time when reaching for the stick cos it is longer and nearer to steering.
