Actually the pic is just one single image, taken with a 10 sec shutter..

 

yeah i want to do this too but im too much of a wuss to cut the thing

 

did you take any pics when you did this?

 

That's wierd, Car and Driver praised the Fit for its sporty precise shifter. But you definately can't go wrong getting a shorter throw.

yeah i think that the shifts are really nice and precise but the throws are just a little too long thats all

 

nice! possible for u to do a write up or showing pics of the procedure?

 

I like the long throw.... makes me feel like I'm driving a big rig.

 

I wouldn't call the Fit's shifter a long throw, but good work in making it shorter.

 

I thought the throw on Fit was nice, short and crisp compared to the '86.

 

Need a DIY man! I am interested in doing the same if it's that simple!

 

seriously though, if I could see how this is done, I would be all over it...

 

^^me Too Yo!^^

 

Hey, I am in Orlando...wanna have some beer while making my shifter into a short throw shifter? lol

 

So, come on...give us some info. We need a DIY on this ASAP!

 

Take it apart and show up DIY, pls!

 

awesome pic hahahaha

 

i would. my god, there must be 8+ inches of knob travel

good show on the short shifter

 

what did you use as a spacer? just washers? how did you extend it? MIG/TIG? whats the diameter of the shifter its self?

sorry for the questions but i havent had time to take it apart yet.

 

Shouldn't that be AFTER making your shifter into a short throw shifter?

Might not want to drink too much while making it...LOL...never know what you might end up with!

 

haha...."aparently I cut to much off...."
haha I can see the thread now..
