Anyone ever cut their shifter
Anyone ever cut their shifter down an inch or so, so it is not so high?
Can it be done without replacing the shifter stem?

Works Great. But now I have a Hurst! It does not rattle. It did in my brother in laws Zo6 he took it out and put in a breathless shifter and I got his Hurst and it is fine in my car.

I did a search and read all the different ways there are to do this. My question is simple, can youjust take the **** off, cut an inch or so and screw it back on, without taking the console apart? what are the problems associated with trying this? **** won't thread down far enouhg? Demon key will need to be cut shorter?

No need to mess with the console, just take the **** off and make the cut. Some folks have cut so low they also had to trim demon key and got rattle and vibrations; take care.
