makeing a Quick change gearbox.

Full demonstration of how to style Quick change shifter.
Got busy in the garage, fixing the car stereo.




Because the gear stick cover was removed,
I thought i would show youtube viewers, the old school method of a quick change gear shifter.

Ohhh, yea!! you cant buy short shifters for classic & old school rides, which is what I'm all about, this vid shows how to make one :-)>

did it on the mitsi cause it was there.

ahh dude isnt a short shift kit the same ? sept you remove the shift pole and replace it with a shorter one some you simply just unscrew the shift pipe n screw in the shorter one

[restolad]

Dude your right - you can buy a kit for newer cars -

If ur old school ride, this is how it done.

a few problems with this. its definatly not a short shifter. just shortens the throw slightly.

secondly just chop off the end and grub screw a new knob on there. no need to cut and weld

If possible take the inch out below the console cover or boot to hide the work...

Great site mate ,hello the states

Hey Restolad

Hey my wife watched in horror as you chopped "about an inch" off your gear stick, she always said bigger is better. She complains that im a bit of a quicker shifter and its over too soon. What are your thoughts on this? and do you have any training on increasing the size of my gearstick or maybe tightning her short shift box?

Some cars have a ball joint instead of a pin. Not sure what to do about that. Most of the after market quick shifters are expensive for say a supra gearbox.

also have to consider that hes spent $0 on it :P ok maybe some for the welding materials and lubricant but hey thats nothing.. and also hes now got the bragging rights to his mates saying.. see the shifter? i made that :)
