ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

        There aren't any short shift levers made for our cars anymore. You could find a used one, or get an adapter, or make an adapter, or modify a stock shifter if you can weld.

        Honestly though, from personal experience... short shifters tend to produce a VERY notchy shift, making it difficult to get in gear. I nearly blew my motor when I was racing and accidentally shifted to 2nd instead of 4th when I was nearing the redline in 3rd. I know many members (at least half of the active staff) that actually HAVE blown motors in that exact same way. I have since returned my shifter to stock.

          I'm not trying to be a douche, But I feel there is more than enough information on this topic if you just search.

            This one was under the DIY's and I am using it now. It works quite well. And well it isn't expensive at all if price is a big issue

              Since you felt the need to say that, how about you do a little searching yourself and provide a link to said information? That, or I can ban you for a week, since simply telling someone to search is against the rules of this forum. Your choice.

                The point of the whole "short shifter" is to have less travel forwards and back when shifting making it quicker to shift and more effortless I guess. It's not just a shorter shaft.

                But don't worry I didn't know that a year ago.

                    Exactly. It's the relocation of the shift cables on the lever, not the length of the lever itself.

                        I have actually been wanting to do this mod, I'm just not to sure about trimming the console. I apologize for coming off in a rude manner

                          If you don't want to be a douche then provide a link, otherwise, your just being a douche.


                          edit.... I see what you did there....

                          I had a DIY short shifter, and it broke while shifting. This is what I have now, not QUITE as short as some aftermarket short shifters, but it IS shorter. And it's a direct bolt on, no piecing it together or having some janky setup.

                            You don't have to trim the console to fit a short shifter, but it will hit going into 5th. It's irritating. Leaving some screws out of the console will let it move around a bit, so the contact isn't as annoying (I learned this out of laziness... )

                              I can take some pictures of the center and how I trimmed it up. Haven't gotten around to redoing the boot. Had to take it out so it wasn't grabbing.
