Cutting the stock shifter will definitly make it look better, but it will not work the same as a short throw shifter. This mod is for looks only....

Here's a pic of my cut shifter and carbon fiber Momo, can't say wether it shifts as good as an aftermarket, but I do know it shifts just fine with a shorter throw so that's got be better! It doesn't make the car any faster though! What's up with that! Definitely looks better and easy to do.

If it's too short, blood loss may occur from wrapping your knuckles! I am totally happy with mine, cut it three times bit by bit til it felt just so. That's all up to you. As far as I know 99.9% of after market ***** are threadless attaching by allen screws.

Theres a few pics of my cut stock shifter on my cardomain. I cut 1.5in off and put a Momo sphere **** on it. It feels a lot better then stock and I dont think the shifting got any worse.
