Short Throw Shifter feedback....woah!! Posted by JustinHiFi [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Yesterday evening I went ahead and tore into Ubipa's version of the short throw shifter (http://www.pajjakid.com/ubipa/short_shift_diy.htm).
I shortened the height by 2.25" inches and raised the pivot by .75". WOW is all I can say right now. Thing is, I just drove it over from my house to the library (laptop dead :-( ) to post this! I cannot explain how wonderful it is...
For the alum piping, I was not able to find any in the sizes mentioned, so I just got a 4"x4"x.75" stock of alum and used hole saws. I held the metal in a vice while cutting.
If anyone is even thinking of doing this (and if you are not) DO IT! The shifts are cleaner, more defined, and (of course) shorter..Let me know if you have any questions...
