anyone made one?? my trx already had it when i got it, but i felt it needed to be a little bit shorter today so i did it. the stock one is about 6ft high, the modded one feels awesome, strongly recommend it :D i bought a skinny little autotechnica shift knob today to top it all off. 8)

yeah i hacked about 3-4 cm off my short shifter when i was putting it in. it made it feels so much nicer, rather than using the centre pole out of a tent to change gears. it looks a shit load better too
-
Yeh guilty...I cut about 4-5cms off my nismo shifter and got a cheap gear knob from Supercheap or something. Looks good but! :D
-
You guys know that cutting this stick from the top end is either going to not change the throw, or possibly make it longer?
-
yep. thats why i only took a little bit off, it still made a huge difference.
-
Yeh I knew that, its was already a short shifter so it was just for looks ;)
-
did you guys need to reweld the shifter after cutting it?
-
nah, the shifter knob that i use has three grub screws that just screw into the shifter itself. i didnt need to worry about welding anything.
-
yeh even if it increases the throw it feels better. The shift knob i've got know is quite long and skinny so it needed a chop. you dont even have to struggle with those crappy plastic sleeves that come with the shift knob.

bein the ricer boy i am (yes i'll admit it!), i've cut me BOTH of me shifters i've had in me TRX: the stocko one, and the proper short shifter one :D ;) :P
they both just sat up so high! so the trusty hacky came out and a-hackin we went
