whats up with the pics of this DIY

does any one have pics with the shift boot and the console modded if they had to, b/c Im doing this tomorrow and thinking of cutting 1" out of my actual shifter and welding the threads back on

I used a battery terminal.

Works like a charm.

Took it off an accord at the junkyard.

Did this yesterday, it works great, shifts nice and strong. It stiffened it up alot...the tranny feels alot more race-like. Great idea man, thanks alot!

I did this to my car two days ago and it works great. It cost me $6.16 at Lowes. But so far this would be the most i've gotten out of a car for six dollars, good job!

wow that is a good idea so good that i tried it i was so excited i installed it before i left HD's parking lot lol i love it best $3.65 i ever spent thanks for the idea

Put another nut on the bolt to keep it from backing back out again... that should solve that problem

when compared to properly weighted short shifters, it's completely different......can't beat it for the price, but the reasons real short shifters (like 4bidden) sell for what they do is because of their strength and balance......counterweighting is a HUGE factor in how smoothly and accurately you can shift........i personally don't like the light feel of a shifter.....feels fragile.......although the stock shifters are usually strong enough, feel matters a lot.....a good solid shifter will usually net better 1/4 times, albeit only milliseconds difference....

in racing, every second is important..

Diy $3.60 Short Shifter

I suggest everybody do this. you cant beat that type of mod for the price at all. this rly works. i did mine this weekend given i had to notch the console but its all good.

I bought a prelude shifter and bolted it directly to the floor. I didn't have to modify the console, and it shifts great, not as tall as the stock shifter. Yes the prelude shifter does move the pivot point up about an inch higher.

I suggest that you guys bolt the plate directly to the floor, with shorter bolts of course. It will give you a much more solid feeling shift.
