Short Shifter Mod

Did the short shifter mod (cut the stock and re-threaded). Car shifts much better - less throw - wife even likes it (and that's a plus). Best bang for the zero buck yet!! Instructions on the forum were the best. Hardest part was removing the console/radio cover. Took about 2 hrs start to finish

It's a great mod indeed! :yesnod:

I tried Hurst and Mallett shifters, but wasn't happy with either of them. Now with my shortened stock shifter and a small 1 7/8" billiard ball ****, all I can say is :hurray: !!!

Why didn't I think of this? I do like my Hurst though.

Cut and paste this link. This will take you to it. I did this mod. It is so good I replaced my Hurst and sold it.

Re: Short Shifter Mod (1Whitt)

My pleasure. Make sure you do mod number 3. And buy a spare shifter from this forum first. Their cheap and its good insurance. I did but didn't need it. Still I have it in case I ever want to put the stock one back and re-use the moded one
