Can I just cut the stock shifter down and re-thread the shift **** and boot on it?

 

Sure you can. It not a "true" short shift though.

 

It would be JDwyer Edition short shifter

 

it's been done before. be sure to buy several hacksaw blades, because it's strong steel and you're going to be cutting for quite a while.
I also suggest only cutting off about 3/4" at a time, jsut so you don't cut it too short the first time and decide you hate it.

 

I think I will have my mechanic just torch it. Maybe try my self

 

I cut mine about a year ago it looks good and shortened the throw alot. I just cut it with a hack saw.

 

I suggest you just get the Stillen Short Shift I got mine for $170 I love it.

 

How did u get the shift **** on?

 

yeah, thats what i was wondering
i want a shorter shift height, the throw is fine to me
so i wanna cut it down a bit and get a new ****
thanks for any help

 

Most aftermarket shift ***** don't screw on.......many use hidden screws so you dont have to worry about threads

how much difference is the short shifter compare to the stock

 

i dont mind the throw though
i just want it shorter
so it would work to cut it down and then put one of the clamp-type ones on?
thanks for all your help

 

hehe I remember posting this before I decided on spending $60 on a pacesetter Short Shifter which I am happy with the exception of it being a little notchy and tougher to shift. I also have bought a aftermarket **** but it was always loose so I brought that back and bought the 20th anniv. max **** and it screwed on the pacesetter just right with no looseness

 

Get the Pacesetter or SMC STS, the Stillen STS is not adjustable.

 

im kinda outta money after i just got the wsp cai
and im plannin on gettin screwed with the front axels
so i want this to be one of my free mods
anyone know any good ***** the clamp on instead of screw?
thanks

 

?????? I still can't get my stock one off I have tried everything and I am not exactly a small guy or anything.....it must be welded on But the way I see it a shift **** is a shift **** just because it says momo doesn't mean you'll shift quiker/smoother. So just go with what looks good to you

 

ha
i cant get mine off either

 

Why cant you get it off?

 

I assume it is left=loose right? For some reason no matter what I try I can not get it off. I even mangled it with vice grips. Next time I feel in the mood I will just go at it with a strap wrench. Any suggestions?

 

maybe im just retarded
i really tried, i like feel the entire stick move, so i stop
im clueless

 

It's not a matter of screwing it off, at least it wasn't with mine. I just had to pull really, really, freakin hard. I got a MOMO carbon fiber adjustable ****. Looks good, but costs $80...

 

Yeah I had to PULL REALLY HARD while turning it to uscrew it like nissan clue it on. Once I got it off I could not put it on tight again So I had to buy a new ****

 

any recomendations for cutting it down?
id like to keep it in the car if i could

 

A handfull of Dremel cutting bits and spare time?

 

How much did you get your 20th Anniversary shift **** for?

 

would it be ok to use the dremel inside my car
if i make sure to lay down somethin around the shifter to keep it clean
id like to keep this as simple as possible
any recommendations on shift ***** that clamp on rather than screw on?
thanks

 

Most aftermarket ***** clamp on. I bought my **** for about $52 and change shipped. I will take pics if any whats to see it. I also clear coated so it won't look bad after awhile. I wish nissan had it so the #s glow.

 

k thanks
if ya had a pic thatd be great

 

I have pics of my MOMO **** I can send you if you want. Just e:mail me...

 

Thanks for the info...

I actually saw a deal somewhere for a manual shift **** that had the numbers light up. They had it in red, white, blue and green (I think). I'll see if I can find the pics and the info as to where to order them. They had them on back-order, and would e-mail everyone that ordered them when they'd come in.

peace2u

 

that would work nicely with my blue dash
