buy an old vw. My rabbits shift **** threads on the shifter. Never comes off unless you rip the shifter out of the floor.

Viperoni

Yeah, my throws are like 8 inches long.
Too bad nobody makes a short throw for my car.

you could always try cutting the shifter. this is harsh but anyone who sees your car will ask where you got the short stick. this does not however make shifting easier.

Viperoni

I would have done that, but the end of the shift stick isn't threaded, it's got a flat edge
If I would have cut the shifter, I would have had to grind a similar flat edge further down the stick... something I didn't want to bother doing.

I ended up greasing the entire shifter assembly, and using some contact cement in the actual plastic shift ****. Hopefully that works.

or you could cut the stick find an after market shifter you really like and use a die to cut threads on your shifter shaft.

Viperoni

That would definetely work, but I don't want to spend money on a shifter and boot. It's not as though they'd make the car faster

i did the same thing, stupid momo shift ****. After that I put the threaded stocker on, it CAN'T slip off.

It won't improve performance but you wouldn;t lose because you can't shift.
