What came in the Post Today?


c.a.r.

Been looking for 9 months john. Not prepared to pay bonkers money or spend all day searching the planet so chances pretty slim to fcuk all. :(

I might just get the ebay one and find a local artisan to bend it like Beckham, which is one option. So I am told.

What I was thinking for future, and another spin on getting a bent short shifter, was just cutting the oem one down and re-threading. I could cut it easily enough and I'm sure a metal working place wouldn't charge much to thread it.

As iv already bought and installed the eBay short shifter ill leave the spacers in the bottom of the shifter cage and just swap out the stick...shazamm an oem quality short shifter

Not really, the short shift is shorter at the top but longer at the bottom.

That's the reason for the spacers.

Without the longer throw at the bottom, this would make shifting pretty hard.

Oh really? I'm sure when I sized them up next to eachother they were the same, just assumed the spacers worked in some other way

Ha well there goes that idea -.-
