fester Regular Location: Gympie Qld Registered: December 2004	Re: T50 shifter modifications Thu, 05 May 2005 12:27 To a degree it does matter Jesse as I am not putting this box in a Corolla. It's going into an MG Midget and to make it look 'right' and work properly I want to change the ratio below the pivot and shorten the lever a bit. I would like to shorten the section above the ball and then fit the insulated section back on. By just shortening the top section you may be reducing teh throw but you are also increasing the leverage required to shift gears. Ideally to change the throw for a true short shifter you should leave the length above the pivot the same and lengthen below the pivot. I want to do this so I get a similar shift action to teh original box. If you''ve ever driven a Midget you'd know what I mean. They have a nice short and easy shift action, just a shame the box is only 4 speed and crash 1st gear. Alternatively if there is little vibration noise coming through the shifter I would probably just get rid of the top section and remake it with a 10mm shaft so the shifter looks original. Not worried about a little harshness or vibration through teh shifter whilst using it just as long as it doesn't emit a constant buzzing noise in the cabin. Noises like that piss me off, something my wife says I'm very anal about. Gavin [Report message to a moderator]
