Short Shifter Swap

[bartlett608]

SO I did it today. I made mine longer on the long side than yours, and extended the piece with the two black caps on it as well. I really like it, but I dont know if it was worth my time for the difference. It would have probably been easier for me to get one from you.


SO in conclusion, if you want this, just buy one from rabbit, its so much more work than I thought it was gonna be.

i gotta make my part, but i need an OEM part only for made the short shiftter, how much longer I have to do the piece?, thanks...

it is #10, yes.

its all math. I do the math based on how short the shift they want ( i would not suggest less than 40%).

you take the measures center to center to center, and i believe i brought the shifter side 10mm and the tranny side out @ 20 mm. With the original lengths that was about a 35% decrease. But i would need to recheck at this point, i think i posted it somewhere.

i am in dormont, in the south hills.

i measured the shift points, and shortened 5 mm on the short side, and added 15 mm on the long side. but measure for yourself. if my math is right, its about 30% shorter throw.

I will be selling these on an exchange basis, for just enough to buy materials and time put in.

Although you can do it yourself, they will be painted better, but the modification, requires welding, replacing the arm, having a drill press, and cutting/shaping 1/8th inch steel.

at that length my shifter only moves 3-3.5 inches between gears. any longer, i think you would be too short.

Also at this length the side to side arm is still usable unmodified. you would need to lengthen the arm (rod with black end clips in the pictures) you could also lengthen the arms on those to shorten the side to side. But then you need more geometry.
