September 10, 200322 yr Does anyone make a short throw shifter or kit for EA82's? I thought I saw one online, but can't remeber where.
September 10, 200322 yr MAN... all you need is a hack saw. make the shifter shorter, and it makes the throw shorter. i have done it on 3 subarus, and my brother has his short as hell too. sounds ghetto, works good. i'll post pics later. other than that, a shifter linkage piece has to be changed
September 10, 200322 yr Author That's what I figured. Thanks for the reply. I'll keep an eye out for those pics. I live about a mile or two from Oakland, so I'm used to the ghetto style.
September 10, 200322 yr True that! And it certanly does look trick. I personaly dont mind my long shifter. I can shift plenty fast with the current length and throw.
September 11, 200322 yr You can slice the u-bracket off your shifter and move it up a bit. This shortens the throw without changing the stock look and boots. You will need to heat and bend the shaft a little after you move the bracket so that it lines up in the middle. Carefull not to flip the bracket over or you'll really need to bend that sucker a lot.
September 11, 200322 yr I was the one who did the shortened shifter. Same throw, shorter rod AND knob My GL's short shifter Oh, and I ended up cutting off 2 inches, not 1.5 or whatever the page says. (I took off an extra bit after the boot kept sliding down cause the knob was too high up)
