my DIY shifter extension:.

[.:Stirfry:.]

yep as title says,
I juss got bored one day while surfin the net on other forums and came across this lil mod for your short shifter.
So i said, hey looks like a pretty good lil idea... :goodjob:
and went out to Tractor Supply and got me a few things.. which was no more than about 20 bucks:..
went home had to do a lil bit of tap & die, & saw off the end of a stud and 15 mins later i get this.. :camera: :D

it shifts like a charm ..

sry for the dirty car pics. :no: she needs a good cleanin on the inside

[9ussy]

Looks like it works.. but it seems like it could be harder to shift might also increase chances of mis shifts... just my opinion... i never had one so what do i know.. :D nice work though.. :goodjob:

[AnthonyF]

my buddy did something like this in his mini truck, but welded a piston to his shifter. Sh*t was so custom and sick.

[Thighs]

thats stupid.

[Nemesis]

wth, please dont let this be the next trend.

[osnap]

:thinking:

...uh... why?

[FasTech]

Looks neat but I'd never do it to my car!

[Nerdsrock22]

what does this do.

[SLOWLYbtngU]

why????

[SLOWLYbtngU]

Ok, no really... Why?

[teh_mugen18]

Ok, no really... Why?


:thinking:

[Brown Man]

why????

x2

[SLOWLYbtngU]

:thinking:
I tried to leave it as just a simple, "why," but the more and more I look at it, I just dont understand, so I would "really" like to know "why"... Get it?

If you can explain, plz do so. As someone previously stated, it just seems like it leaves room for mis-shifts. I mean hey if this is the new hotness then forgive me for being wack. :dunno:

[mocha latte cupcake]

its all good, i'm not bashin i'm just wondering for why? any reason other than boredom?

[Nerdsrock22]

I was just curious about what it did. Is this the opposite of a short shifter?

[gen2freak]

props on dong all the work urself,,,but yeah you check out circuit hero! they sell a shifter extension and is 100% sure is going to the job perfect!!!!!!!!!!

[SLOWLYbtngU]

One way to waste a Craftsman screw driver and $20!

[Andyturbo13]

I like the idea but iam going to buy mine from circut hero. But if your ballin on a buget then its well worth the money if you drive you car agressive enuff to need it.

[4uh8ers]

i am puttin a hammer on my shifter, So i can "hammer" through the gears. hahaha. U shifter/screw driver doesnt look too bad. Looks like it should belong on a mini truck or a rat rod. oh well, like my name says, 4uh8ers.

[Benefit]

arent you gunna punch your head unit going into 3rd?

[JITB]

ah man you could have got 5 gallons of gas, and cleaned your interior out.. instead of wastin 20$.. BUT! if it was shorter it would be "clever"

[SRCRX]

Seen these on SOME road race cars :thinking:

[twincannon26]

here we go again.... some one thinks outside the box and everyone hates on em for it.

personally, i love it. not sure of the function, but honestly dont care because the awesomeness of a DIY screwdriver handle shifter is more than enough to make up for any lack of function.

keep up the good work.

lol, first thing i thought, serious out of context at the end there

[VickNotic]

are you seriously leaving the shifter how it sits? i mean you could prolly elbow someone in the face while downshifting hahaha ..

[tdurr]

I want a video of you shifting with the camera man in the backseat and dodging your elbow.
lol I think it funny, would do it just for kicks.
you sir are cool in my book.
T-durr

[antiv6]

that is retarded, why would anyone want a longer shifter

[Nerdsrock22]

that is retarded, why would anyone want a longer shifter?

Your answer:

it brings the shifter closer to the steering wheel, minimizing the time your hands are off the wheel



:dunno:

[antiv6]

Your answer:



:dunno:
it only takes one hand to hold the wheel, plus that would probably slow down shifts, i could understand if it looked cool (jdm:gay:) but it doesnt

[BB1_Luda]

wouldn't this make shifts longer?

I mean, now you have to throw the shifts like a foot to get into the next gear, instead of when it was short (around 4-6 in').

1. ya the shifter is closer to the steering wheel
2. but the long shifts completely defeat the purpose of moving it closer.

:thinking:
lol never seen **** like this at all before :lmfao:

[VTECking]

I tried to leave it as just a simple, "why," but the more and more I look at it, I just dont understand, so I would "really" like to know "why"... Get it?

If you can explain, plz do so. As someone previously stated, it just seems like it leaves room for mis-shifts. I mean hey if this is the new hotness then forgive me for being wack. :dunno: Ive seen it done to drift cars because the drifter is doing so many things at one time, it just makes it easier for the driver to reach from the steering wheel to the shifter to shift, and back.

*EDIT: You guys prob already know but for those who dont the drifters replace the stock shifter with a short shifter "quick throw shifter", then it is extended.*

[OhMyGodfather]

what does this do.

makes a short shifter back to its original use

short throw

not a short stick

ricers made the stick short

short throws to my knowledge were introduced in rally with tall poles so the driver needed limited release of his hand to shift, long rod and short throw makes it easy when he is bolted in with only half an inch of slack in his harness

[Nerdsrock22]

Now I'm curious.

And I'm not trying to challenge it, just trying to understand. How does the "throw" become shorter by extending the length of the shaft?

Or are the drifters installing a whole new assembly (thus creating a shorter throw distance) and then installing a longer shaft? And how does the longer shaft not cancel out the improved throw?

[Random Hero]

Cool...so you shift with a screwdriver that's as tall as your upper body...

CLASSY. :no:

[southside]

Imma have to say :no:

[87 Turbo II]

wth, please dont let this be the next trend.
no, let it become the next trend. Then it'll give something else for the non trendy types to make fun of.

[Humphrizzle]

what does this do.


brings your hand closer to the shifter to make faster and quicker shifts..


missed shifts are for bad drivers.
