He wants to make it into a short shifter. You can do it, but dont cut it too short or else it'll just screw everything up.

Use a rock. That's how the cave men did it.
I would use a wood chipper if I had one, but I don't so I would have to use a hack saw. After cutting the thread off, take a good metal file or a grinder and clean it up. You should also take the file and chamfer the top so you have some lead in for making it easy to screw the shift **** back on.
