G'day,

just thought I'd say how much a difference lengthening* your
shifter makes to your gear changes. Shortening is good, but you should combine that with a shorter throw while you row.

If you are just going to shorten the shifter only then here's a note on cutting that tough steel. Grab a good (or new)hacksaw blade plus a helpful, albeit game, friend with a strong grip to hold your shifter while you hack. Should only take a minute or so. Make sure you wrap an old sheet or towel around it to catch the filings.
If you don't give a rats about quality or are waiting for a tap/die kit, whack a Supercheap Auto gearknob on it which is fastened on with 3 allen key bolts.


*the shifter is lengthened below the pivot point.

Rather than explain something you may already be aware of, feel free to check this short shifter mod site for an ST185.
