Uh... yeah .

I wanted to go shorter, just afraid to take too much off. It looks much better. Not as anoyingly tall as the old hight. Once I fab up the plastic around it, I'll decide if it needs to go shorter. Can anyone tell me how tall they'er M5/6 shifter hight is? Might help me down the road .

LOL, is 1 higher or 5?

This is the easiest thing to do. The hardest thing, if you still have your factory shifter still on there, is removing the stock shifter.

There is a little staple in the back. You have to pull it out to remove the shifter. I pretty much destroyed my shifter **** getting that damn pin out. Luckily I was replacing it, so I didn't care what happened to the factory one.

Once you do that just mark and cut it with a dremmel. And try not to cut the white plastic piece in the middle off while doing it . Then measure and remove the right amount of the white plastic to remove.

Now if your putting the old **** back on, your going to have to cut a slit in the back of the metal to put the pin back in. That's it!

One word of advice, measure twice, cut once . You only have one shifter.

I knew that part...i had an aftermarket shifter **** on it till it kept slipping...cheap *** one, but i got the stocker back on now...but for the Scale...1 being easiest 5 being hardest...by the sounds of what you said it sounds to me like it would be a 2 if anything bc of the measurements...
