Short shifter anyone?

Post by zippy67roadster »

I was looking to have a run of stainless short shifters made for all years of the Roadster. Is there any interest? They are 2 3/4" shorter than stock.

Does that design shorten the throw or just shorten the lever?

just shortens the lever... It does not make it a quick shifter, but the length of travel of the knob decreases.

Just got the short shifter and bushings you sent out by USPS.

Nice! I like the quality and finish. Well done piece.
My roadster getting better, one piece at a time.
Thanks

Thanks for your purchase. Yes the pieces are very nice. The shift rod can be polished to a high shine without much work if you don't like the matte finish.

Got mine too! Very nice quality product.
The threads on my shift knob are messed up, so it does not completely screw on. Gonna have to clean those up.
I like it!
