Only Happy When it Rains

i think it has been started. op has to be a troll.
and without a real admin that cares i doubt you can limit who posts where. Oh and Tooter, to make sure I understand you, don't physically cut the shifter, short shift kits make the shifts much shorter.

But cutting the shifter lowers the height of the stick, which I know a couple other members have done, and I plan on doing at some point soon. I have the NST engine bay SSK, and I love the shorter throw, but the stick is just too damn high!

Fine for the street, but for racing you want the shift knob as close to the wheel as possible. So we shorten the throw and extend the shifter.
Just a different approach. But especially in the Yaris, the shifter is very far from the wheel; shortening it could actually cause some people to have to shift their body position to reach it -- *not recommended*.

I can understand that would be a definite advantage for racing...
...but since I'm no racer. |

So would it make sense to shorten it, re-thread it, and get a REALLY long extension for track days, or will that just cause issues?

I thought about that. But I don't have a spare shifter to do it with, lol.

I'd still recommend getting a TWM short shifter rather than just hacking your stick down!

I just hacked mine down, about 3 years ago. Took 3.25" off if I remember correctly. Love it. :)
