I’m 6’ 4” tall, and shifting into R or first is literally under my right knee. A shorter lever (not a short-shift kit) might help. Anyone else have a solution for this?
Thanks |

If you are going to do it, do it right. Get a Rennshift shifter. You can choose the shift lever length when you buy, and can switch between (IIRC) 15% and 33% reduction in shift throw by changing how the shifter is set up.
If you use ANY sort of short shifter, you will want to go through all of your shifter bushings and renew everything. Any small shifter issues you have at the stock throw are going to be multiplied with a short shifter. Zach |
