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...
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

[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.. 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.

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

...uh... why?

[FasTech]

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

[Nerdsrock22]

what does this do.

[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

[Humphrizzle]

what does this do.

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


missed shifts are for bad drivers.

Ok, no really... Why?

[teh_mugen18]

Ok, no really... Why?

[SLOWLYbtngU]

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.

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.*

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

[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

[antiv6]

Your answer:

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

[Nerdsrock22]

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

[.:Stirfry:.]

ic.. but wut a long shifter ..

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.

yea thx much man:.
