Why would you need to narrow the shifter? Did you die it afterwards?

Dang...that must have taken a day to do! I'm going to skip the tap and die because I really don't need the shifter to be threaded. My **** came with this threaded plastic sleeve so that the **** can screw on it. I just have to find a way to keep the plastic from slipping off of the shifter. Any suggestions guys?? Would liquid weld work?

Need a little muscle power but at least metal pieces & sparks don't go all over the place, I pushed a hole through an old shop rag to cover the shifter housing to catch the metal bits.

As I'm sure you know the stock shifter gets wider as you get lower and the whole in my Momo **** just wasn't wide enough once I'd put in the supplied thin rubber insert.

I was just wondering cause the stock shifter fit fine after I cut mine off. I actually had to add payers of duct tape so that it fit and I cut mine well over 2".

No. I put 3-4 layers of duct tape on the shifter and then I jammed the **** down. It didn't move at all so it didn't bother me. Now that I got the sts I'm thinking of cutting it as well and might die it if I can find a cheap tap/die set.

Hehehe, does anyone have SPELLBOUND for FIREFOX? If you type in STS, it wants to change it to TI TS.
