any 6 spd'rs change out their shift ****? mine's falling apart, i'm thinking about shortening the height and switching the ****. i'm not really feelin the shifters from twm, i was wondering about any other options we have to switch. pics would be good! thanks

 

Do what I did and move the arm 1 inch lower from the stock location....then drill a hole and thread it.....and secure it with a bolt....the throw is SHORT....we are talkin about 50% less than stock....but the downside is, it does get notchier....

the thread is laying around somewhere...since your donating member just search for a thread called FREE STS...the person who created is Deckdout02 or something

 

it looked really good and it didn't seem TOO difficult to do...i don't really know what shift ***** are compatible with our 6-speeds so i'm not sure about that one.

 

I just changed my shift ****. I bought a universal fit from JC WHitney for about 30.00. It is made from brushed aluminum and leather. It looks very elegant. I had to modify it to get it to fit properly but it looks and works great now. I ended up grinding off the threads on the bottom of the shifter.

 

is there anyway to make the actual shifter shorter? or is this impossible because of the reverse lockout?

 

i want to get rid of the reverse lockout and then you could put any **** you want.

 

pics?? links??

 

do you have a pic of your shift ****?

 

by doing that, you did NOT shorten your throw...

 

1. Plenty of shift ***** available here:

But ya have to consider the reverse ring, so that reduces the selection by a quite a bit... there actually are some made by MOMO and Sparco for cars with the reverse ring.

so you beg to differ? I see....well obviously you haven't done this mod....becuz everybody who has will vouch for how awesome it is...even the great sr20den himself has this mod...and was actually the founder of it....since your a donating member, why don't you run a search for a thread called FREE STS....it wasn't created too long ago so finding it won't be a problem...

next time, please don't jump to conclusions unless you previously had experience with the subject....or know what yer talking about...thanks

 

I posted the link above your post...

 

I'll just stick with my Free "non-working" STS and save the 150 bucks or so on headers and everything needed to move up to 125 shot. Then it won't matter how long or short my throw is.

 

oops! sorry joel...thought the 2nd link was for something related to the MOMO/sparco shift *****....but never read the hyperlink or clicked on it....

yeah my car's still running like crap....my thread is huge now...i think almost 90 replies...alot of drama going on thats all i have to say....so if u wanna good soap opera...check it out ...hehe

 

Actually, My mistake. I thought you were say that you cut off an inch, and drilled a hole in the stock shifter. (where the **** is) and thats what made your throw shorter. sorry, i am at work, and i am doing a million things, sometimes i mis-read something.

I know it works because i have a tmw sts, and judging by the pics taken, it looks almost exactly where my sts sits, so i know it works. sorry about my post.

 

oh, that's what i thought he was talking about too..it didn't even hit me that he was talking about the 'free STS' even though he stated it in his original post
