Sorry cant find the DIY thread, but heres a DIY for you guys
Mines a little different than those other short shifter DIY where you have to drill your shiftknob. Instead of drilling my shiftknob, I decided to sand down my shifter.

1. removed the shifter
Theres a DIY on how to remove the center console and the shifter somewhere on here




2. Now you need some sort of a grinder, i used something like this

Now grind it just enough so the shift **** will be able to go all the way down, I stopped at the little things sticking out on the sides of the shifter

3. Now it should look liket his when your done

I painted it black


4. Make sure the shift **** fits on and stops turning at the point where the numbers on the **** is facing you, or else your gonna have to do a little more grinding.


5. put everything back


The height where the shift **** sits is adjustable.

When the shift **** is all the way down it feels more accurate and precise and the throw is shorter but shifting requires a little more thrust than when the shift **** is sitting up high. When the shift **** is up high, shifting is very light and the throw is longer

 

does it really reduce your throws?
seems kinda mickey mouse to me.
but im diggin the skunk2 ****.
how much did you pay for it?

 

This doesn't reduce the throw at all, no matter how it feels...lol. I hope the arm snaps off.

 

I think the OP and the rest of us are on different pages in terms of what a short shifter is. Technically what the OP presented here is a shortend shifter.

 

yikes.

why not just get a short shifter? its easy enough as it is on our cars comparing to an integra and mk4 gti ive done it on. plus ill be kinda scared that itll snap off.

nice try though props for the effort. but i think this DIY could end in disaster with a kid whos first car is an 8th gen and is broke but is eager to mod. i used to be one, well now i just have a little bit more money lol

 

reminds me off the days when we just take a hack saw to are moms 93 civic dx shifter and it a short shifter

 

This clearly has fail written all over it..

what the hell..?what year is this? 2002?

 

Now I was thinking of doing something like this. Not because I thought it would shorten the throw. I already have the comptech short shifter. I just wanted to do it because i thought it would look a little more like the s2k set up. But that grinder scares the crap out of me! Looks good though!

 

wow that's a waste. you could of easily drille the **** and save the shifter assembly.

 

hahaha

 

wow, what a cheap waste of time

 

Nice shifter ****. Mine look similar.

 

You know what's even bigger waste of time?



Bumping a worthless thread that's almost a years old.

 

year

 

Damnit.

 

that just reduces the **** height, should of bought a strutking short shifter for like $40, what a waste to the stock shifter.

 

Fashion over function = FAIL!

 

i've never understood ghetto rigging ****, especially on a newer car. if you can't afford to mod then simply don't.
