atm im thinking of using an angle grinder.

open to suggestions!

thanks

the price of a short shifter is pretty cheap even as low as $50 new, or secondhand can be got for $20. DOn't cut it its not worth the trouble.
I used a hacksaw to cut the corolla one cos they don't have shortshifters easily avialable

yeah looking into it now and they are quite cheap. although i gotta research on which one to get etc. cause they even have ones for $3.99 on ebay lol.

i got a cheap ebay one. Only cost me $50 and had it for over 2yrs now no issues at all.
P.S i'd recommend changing the bushes for the shifter if you do it.
THe polyurothane ones go for like $25, JDMyard has them as do online performance, which is closer by

Hmmm.....

Well a guy on a forum im on did a custom short shifter (seeing as they werent in production at the time and atm cost well over $100+)

Another friend of mine gave this ago on his 3rd gen prelude and it felt pretty good actually

Anyway have a read...

Also if you read on later he did a shift extender

yup ... I got those from JDMyard for my $38 ebay shortshifter as well ... had it for ages .. still going strong and feels very nice... it does say it's from the same manufacturer as B&M.
