I was thinking about fabricating one for myself, (instead of paying $100 for a little piece of metal). But I'm not sure how effective it would be. Can anyone shed some light?

 

What benefit would it add????

 

just to relocate the shifter for quicker access. You can spend more time gripping the steering wheel.

 

umm... you save maybe 2 inches distance between the wheel and the shifter with that. You gain a weak point in your shifting mechanism since you now have more parts that can swivel and fail. IMHO, the mechanism would be too cumbersome for too little of a gain.

 

That was my thought. Why not find a junkyard shifter, and take it to a shop and have them weld an extension to it or something?

Nice Bling! Bling!

 

I dunno if you could even call that "bling bling" I think "um, no!" would be more appropriate. If you were hell bent on moving the shifter closer to the wheel, a short-throw shift linkage and taller shifter arm might be a better solution. I don't really see the need for it, but hopefully those two pieces would result in a throw that is near-stock length and a **** that would be closer to the wheel. I think it would be a much more mechanically solid design.

 

I have suprisingly seen some people use them...custom fabricated

they don't really do much other than relocate your shifter...if the stock point suits you...then leave it. Less parts to break or come loose.

 

I feel dumb.. I thought he was trying to get rid of his power window motors to save weight..

 

It changes the swing arc of the shift ****, for better or worse.

It would be cool if it had 10 LED's in it
