Wow, that looks like alot more work than just making my own shifter :dunno:

Really?.... One cut, two welds, and one bolt..... About 10 minutes of work.... Seems pretty easy to me and yields a quiter vibration free shifter.
 
I have an NV5600 ... how in the world do you break shift levers?

And is a short throw kit really worth it?
 
Kinda wondered that myself... Vibration maybe?


I thought about short throw for my zf6 and decided it was a truck n not a sports car... I don't think I'd want one.
 
Not sure on the brand, I'll let you know when I get it back, but it makes for a more positive shift, pretty much eliminates play or flex in the shifter, less about sports car more about working better and having a shorter throw.

Yeah, when you don't have a saw to cut it or a welder to weld it, it makes it a little difficult.

It's not exactly the shift lever, its the shifter stuck. Have you ever seen how its made down at the bottom where it screws onto the shift lever? It's pretty common for them to break especially after a bunch of hard miles....both ones I have broke had around 280k miles on them.

The Core/Hurst short shifter that I tried was not really worth it. It was actually kind of a pain. But looking back on it I think it would have been much better with a pistol grip instead of the ball it comes with.

Alright, just let me know when you get a chance please.
 
Sounds like ur way over thinking this... If ur breaking em at around 280,000 miles it sounds like a no brainer.... Buy another one and change I again in 10-30 years.

Yeah, maybe so. But there's still the fact that the factory shifter is too flexible for my likings.

I've found pieces of tube on Ebay as suggested before that will work. So I'm gonna make my own. Thanks for all the input.
 
Gotcha... Good luck w the project... Keep us posted n put pics up when ur done.
 
Go up to Apel Machine between Hancville and Cullman the can even tap it for you

Yeah, I've put 2 clutches in them so I've seen that part plenty. Still don't get how it breaks. Kind of a derail anyway, doesn't matter.

I researched the short shift kits a while back. I saw lots of reports of them breaking.

Have also seen where people just welded the stock shifter solid and liked that a lot.

After the first one broke that's what I had done....was welded solid. But it's apparently hard to get a good weld because the 2 materials are different...the stick itself is very thin, and the rubber wants to melt and push out through the weld.
 
In order to weld it you would have to get rid of the rubber first... Might have to cut out a section and put a small peice of tubing in.

If you were local to me I'd fix ya up for nothing.

Yes, that would be the ideal way to do it.

That would be awesome....where are you located?
