Caboobaroo Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I know you can make a stock shifter into a shor throw, I have done it by moving the pivot point up on the shifter about 3/4". I also chopped my shifter as well to make it sit lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 here's a picture for you of before and after doing what Caboo says about raising the pivot point you must also bend the connecting rod on the left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuclearBacon Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 nail me for this... and laugh as you will.. but welding is involved to move correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amk Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 nail me for this... and laugh as you will.. but welding is involved to move correct I did weld it believe me it was no joke first I added a piece of steal about 1 inch when I fitted it back it was too long so I decreased it by half an inch fitted it I lost fifth and reverse so that meant the I lost the angle damn any way this time I was little more clever should have thought of it at first I cut it again welded a bolt on 1 side and the other a nut so a can adjust oh and another nut to act as a lock nut then it was k apart from the adjustment finally I got it!!!

Skip Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Nuke, The way I have it done is to first remove the bracket using a angle grinder I then position and reweld the bracket up about an inch (see picture) The next trick to retain the proper angle and to clear the floor is to bend the connection rod. It is pictured on the left. I heated it with a blue tipped hot wrench (oxcetelene torch) This method retains the factory pivot ball at the bottom of the shifter. New bushing at this location also help tremendously. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
