feeler thread - shifter extension - Toyota Yaris Forums

cali yaris · 01-10-2009, 03:32 PM

We (meaning NST & MI) are thinking about offering a shifter extension. Race cars often have longer shifters (the knob is closer to the steering wheel. I've also noticed with our stock seats so high up, the shifter could be a little higher.

A shifter extension combined with one (or both!) NST short shifter kits might be the perfect shifter set up for our cars.

So, here's an interest poll to see if it's worth pursuing, female thread underneath, male threads on top, easy and removable extension to your stock shifter.

Like this:

What say you?

ddongbap · 01-10-2009, 03:51 PM

I'm DEF buying one.

And you know it!

cali yaris · 01-10-2009, 06:47 PM

you didn't vote, though

KCALB SIRAY · 01-10-2009, 06:55 PM

what price point and what mm you think for the shifter knob (assuming stock, but wanted to clarify)?

mikenacarato · 01-10-2009, 07:26 PM

i would like a 2" one :)

thebarber · 01-10-2009, 07:48 PM

$?

cali yaris · 01-10-2009, 07:58 PM

don't know about $$ yet. Just seeing if people like the idea.

Somewhere between $10 and $50

kcalb, it would end exactly as your stock shifter ends now.

Garm, if these don't go into production, I want one anyways.

edmcc · 01-10-2009, 08:04 PM

I'm interested,I voted for the 2" one.

m911gt · 01-10-2009, 08:51 PM

Does anyone have that picture of the guy who raised his shifter by like 18"? Garm, I'm sure you remember...

ddongbap · 01-10-2009, 10:53 PM

It was me. And it wasn't 18 inches. Please..

cali yaris · 01-10-2009, 10:54 PM

yeah I'll probably make a few no matter what. whatever length most people vote on.

PHXDEMON · 01-10-2009, 11:53 PM

In for a 2" one granted I can still fit my redline shift boot on fine.

cali yaris · 01-11-2009, 12:05 AM

it will still fit, but I'm guessing the shifter will stick out the top of it.

Kaotic Lazagna · 01-11-2009, 02:16 AM

Here's my buddy's shifter extension on his Box.

ddongbap · 01-11-2009, 02:18 AM

That looks painful.

Kaotic Lazagna · 01-11-2009, 02:25 AM
