chrishill 0 Posted April 25, 2005 get yourself a short shift! contact either chris vr6nos (currently known as furkicharged vr6nos :?) or h8rra. I've got one with a momo knob on and its great! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossy t 0 Posted April 25, 2005 sounds expensive mate, how much was it chris? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted April 25, 2005 well I've got chris's old car and it was already fitted...so free! :) you'll have to ask them for an exact price as i'm not sure but they offer them on an exchange+cash basis and its going to do you far more favours than chopping the gearstick down yourself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Thanks there Chris Just received a pm! £45 exchange inc postage and you can specify how agressive or mild you want the throw If it's not right and you want it shorter or longer just send it back and it will be adjusted and taylored accordingly free of charge.

dan 0 Posted April 25, 2005 You can thread your stick while its on the car (use a M12 Die) then cut off the top of the gearstick with a haccsaw... Very easy to do... it works, its quick & its free. Its up to you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Yep, that's the propper way to adjust the leverage :roll: Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 25, 2005 LOL, I think Dan's suggestion relates to shortening of the rod for the knob, rather than reducing throw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted May 5, 2005 Yup, just fitted mine from Daves16v, it's good but you will need a dremmel to get the old one out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
