Thats not shorting the throw..You just shortened the stick...



Its called Rice..

I like the first shot, a Haynes manual in the passenger side door pocket. Never leave home without it.

i cut that metal piece also. and no my car doesnt viberate. and sorrow it actually does shorten the throw.

I've measured it. 4" stock throw in my TII, a cut down shifter had a 4" throw in the same car. All you are doing with a cut shifter is increasing the effort it takes to shift, making you *think* you shortened the throw.

i was wondering about the pivot point..... wasn't sure though

The pivot point is where the alteration is made from stock to shorten the throw..



I have seen this over and over where people cut the shifter and think they have a short shifter...

I need to find the article I read on a website about it..and post it here...

it feels good, vibrates a little, but that was to be expected, if you read my posts a little more througly youd know i said (i was not sure this was a short throw shifter!)and it does not take any effort to shift it, its just like before,lol how is this rice? am i suppose to leave the car completely stock so people like you dont call me rice? **** that ill do what i like, haha i never leave home with out the haynes manual, its my bible,lol ill try adding some of those weights, ive got a box of em from where i used to work. :bigok: ill let ya know if the rattle goes away, but mazdatrix says there short shifters rattle, but its only car specific? weird, later

Ok my car is far from stock...and that dont have **** to do with rice..

In your sig you posted you have a custom short throw shifter..



I explained to you why its not a short throw shifter..cause you said your not sure..and your still assuming it is..Yeah it does feel difrent ..you took out about 2-3 inches of your shifter..and no its not a short throw shifter..

The term short throw is made from the shortness in the pivot point and not the shifter stick it self..



You will soon understand whats rice and whats not..

That was your lesson number 1 ..



If you want a shifter Im tring to do a group buy on shifters for 84-88 trannys it will be $140 shipped to your door..BUT it will take about 2-3 weeks..on regular order...Its coming from overseas..

The shorter throw of these Short Throw Shifters is accompolished by changing the pivot point of the lever. The distance the **** travels when shifting is shortened to 3 1/2" from the original 6".

i said it was custom because i made it and didnt pay for it, there fore it is custom, doing something like what i did doesnt make it rice because you think its rice. anyways cant we all just get along?lol



anyways yes id be interested in a group buy, let me know about it because i really want the real thing, this was just to pass time and boredom, but it is nice
