[color=#000000:post_uid0]ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE GEAR STICK OR IS AS EASY AS CUTTING IT WITH A HACKSAW
AND FINDING A GEAR NOB THAT DOES NOT THREAD ON.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]To do it properly you need to add on the bottom and cut
from the top. *Don't use a hacksaw and take off the thread
as that will cause heaps of problems with getting knobs to
secure properly. *Take the time to take the shifter out an
have it cut and welded properly. *If you just cut from the
top you it is not a quickshift you need the extra length on
the bottom to do that.
