    Default my DIY shifter extension:.

    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...
    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..

    it shifts like a charm ..







    sry for the dirty car pics. she needs a good cleanin on the inside

    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.. nice work though..

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

    yea at first.. also it brings the shifter closer to the steering wheel, minimizing the time your hands are off the wheel
    idk

    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.

    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.
    86 MR2 4age, 86 MR2 20V, 84 MR2 3lc RHD, 01 MR2 Spyder, 92 SE V6 5spd Camry.

    so maybe i have an mr2 problem.....
