I came across this thread in the 5th Gen forum. The thread is for 6 speed Maximas for people who want a shorter shift rod. The guy cut out 1.75" of the shaft and rewelded it back together and even kept the reverse lockout.

There is also a mod to shorten the throw for free here:

I have the STS but the shortened shifter is PIMP.

 

Here is a pic of the shortened shifter:


Credit goes to mejesticmaxima for a great mod for the 6 speed.

 

this is pretty nice deus. but it is so hard to find the shifter of 6th gen. any ideas where to get them from?

 

majesticmaxima might be selling his. Go to that thread and ask. I may mod my own shifter

 

i got mine from NYC2K2MaXx, he was going to convert to 6sp and decided against, so i picked up the extra. I was gonna do the same mod to my original and gauge the interest.

 

is the shifter the same for your gen as mine? seems like it would be

 

My guess is that it is, but I don't know for sure
