DIY Short Shifter

DIY Short Shifter

i picked up a spare standard gear shifter for $10. thx to tracy for picking it up for me thx to dan for the infos and welding


basically the shifter was shorter at the part above the pivot point and extended at the part below the pivot point. in this case the top is shorten by 70mm, and 30mm extension at the bottom. dan did all the cutting welding...


to remove the shifter in micra, i hard to do it from under the car. its just above the secondary cat converter.

because the short shifter has longer bottom part, its rubbing the heat shield above the cat conv. so i decided to reshaped the heat shield to make some clearance...

green dotted like was the original shape. blue line is the shape after i bent it


put the spare gear know i had lying around in the garage. its off ford focus.

thx to shaun for helping me

here is abit of video of the short shifting after the installation.
